The Wall Street Journal says U.S. colleges are fighting hard to keep international students—and Markowski explains why. It’s not about diversity or prestige, it’s about economics: foreign students bring in nearly $44 billion a year, often paying full tuition while American kids chase financial aid. Just like tourism dollars flowing into Orlando, universities treat education as an export. Sure, security checks are needed, but if international students want to spend big to study here, that’s a net positive. The bigger problem? A bloated higher-ed industry more focused on status than value.
