ICE昨日新规可能让美国高校损失410亿美元

因受疫情影响，许多国际学生将无法留在美国，或者被困在自己的国家无法赴美上课，美国各大高校都开启了网课模式。谁知周一ICE新规：学生不能只接受网课！这给学生和学校都是一个重击。

哈佛大学在公布这一消息之前，传出消息称，今年秋季学期部分学生将返回学校，但课程依旧是网上进行。新规宣布后，哈佛也表示，这个规定打乱了很多高校制定的以确保学生能够在秋季安全返校的计划。国际教育工作者协会（NAFSA）的执行董事兼CEO Esther Brimmer也表示，“新的规定可能会导致新的国际学生入学率下降，美国也将面临失去全球人才的风险，新的政策也会伤害我们的学术发展和经济发展。”

根据NAFSA的数据显示：2018-2019学年，在美国的国际学生为国家经济贡献了近410亿美元。（根据其他说法，这个数字甚至更高）多年来，一直有大量的学生涌入这个国家学习，特别是来自中国的学生。据最新数据显示，在新冠疫情爆发之前，在美国的中国学生人数大约为37万，在所有国际留学生里占比三分之一。但由于美国的学生签证政策更加严格，这一数字最近一直在下降。如果在美留学的国际学生人数减少，这也会让依赖国际留学生的美国大学陷入困境。目前美国高校也在寻找更多能够支付全额学费的境内学生，并且部分学校很难再慷慨地向学生提供经济援助，目前约有66%的全日制学生获得学校给予的经济援助，这也是他们决定是否接受大学教育的一个关键因素。

Due to the impact of the epidemic, many international students will not be able to stay in the U.S., or will be trapped in their own countries and unable to attend classes in the U.S.. All major universities in the U.S. have opened online courses. Who knows ICE’s new rules on Monday: Students can’t just accept online courses！This is a big blow to students and schools.

Before the announcement of this news, Harvard University reported that some students will return to school this fall semester, but the course is still online. After the announcement of the new regulations, Harvard also stated that the regulations disrupted the plans made by many colleges and universities to ensure that students can safely return to school in the fall. Esther Brimmer, executive director and CEO of Association of International Educators (NAFSA), also said, "The new regulations may lead to a decline in the enrollment rate of new international students. The U.S. will also face the risk of losing global talent, and new policies will hurt us. Academic development and economic development."

According to NAFSA data: International students in the U.S. contributed nearly 41 billion U.S. dollars to the national economy in the 2018-2019 school year. (According to other accounts, this number is even higher.) Over the years, a large number of students have poured into this country to study, especially those from China. According to the latest data, before the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic, the number of Chinese students in the U.S. was approximately 370,000, accounting for one-third of all international students. However, this number has been declining recently due to stricter student visa policies in the U.S.. If the number of international students studying in the United States decreases, this will also put American universities that depend on international students in trouble. At present, American colleges and universities are also looking for more domestic students who can pay the full tuition fee, and it is difficult for some schools to provide financial assistance to students generously. Currently, about 66% of full-time students receive assistance from the school. A key factor in deciding on college education.  source
