EconoFact ChatsForeign Students and U.S. Higher Education (Re-broadcast)United States colleges and universities currently enrol about 900,000 international students, representing 5% of all students – although the percentage of foreign students varies widely across institutions. Many colleges and universities would be hurt by policies that limit the number of foreign students. The detrimental effects of these policies extend beyond institutions of higher education to local economies, companies that hire engineers, scientists, and programmers, and to the dynamism of the U.S. economy since immigrants educated in this country are vastly overrepresented as entrepreneurs. Furthermore, American higher education serves as an important source of soft power that bolsters America’s standing in the...

Cool Meanderings with Dr. Jerm GIs the College Enrollment Crisis Real?Send us a textIn this episode, I reflect on the end of the 2022-23 school year by revisiting projections from research published in the mid-2010s about an impending college enrollment cliff. The projected freefall in college enrollment was expected around the mid-2020s onward.Obviously a lot has happened over the last 7 or 8 years, which has significantly affected all aspects of U.S. society including the state of its colleges and universities. I briefly explore the actual and projected enrollment data, and speculate on what might be the catalyst for this potential crisis.

EdSurge PodcastWhy Demographic Changes Mean Tough Challenges Ahead for College LeadersThe financial crisis of 2008 was tough for the country, but the real impact will hit colleges in the year 2026.
It turns out the fiscal anxieties coincided with a dramatic birth dearth—a reduction in the number of children born, which means that the number of kids hitting traditional college age will drop almost 15 percent around 2026. That could amount to a crisis for colleges, unless they start planning now.
That’s the argument of Nathan Grawe, an economics professor at Carleton College. He’s author of a new book with a very straightforward title: Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education. EdSurg...
