The White House is asking US colleges to sign a 10-point memo, the ‘Compact Academic Excellence for Higher Education’, in exchange for preferential access to federal funds. A key term of this agreement demands that universities cap their international undergraduate enrollment at 15%. This initiative is described as part of the Trump administration’s “full-blown protectionist mode,” aimed at restricting the entry of foreign students and workers. The measures are making the ‘American dream’ more difficult for those wishing to study in the United States. One speaker noted the administration’s clear objective, stating, “completely he is in a protectionist mode, he is trying to restrict the foreigner entry in the United States.” The expansive plan also touches upon hiring procedures and visa mechanisms like the H-1B and OPT.
