Universities are confronting budget holes as international arrivals continue to fall after Trump administration moves tied to visa denial, deportations and travel bans. University of North Texas President Harrison Keller said the school expected 2,800 international students to arrive but saw them stay away, pushing the university about $45 million into the red. Keller linked the shortfall to the loss of full-tuition-paying students—especially graduate students—used to underwrite services and keep costs lower for domestic students. As a result, the university eliminated 71 academic programs and faces a further projected $47 million hit in the next academic year if the decline persists. Federal enrollment data cited in the reporting show arrivals down 5% in March, nearly 8% in April, and 1% in May compared with the prior year, on top of a nearly 22% drop in the prior summer intake. Economics faculty quoted in the piece said the financial dependence is often underestimated, with international students paying multiple times what domestic students pay in some states and underwriting aid and operations for other students.
