Harvard University joins voices of disapproval and concern as it warns it will do all it can to ensure international students can continue their studies without fear of being forced to leave the country.

ACE has a huge impact on the national conversation on a lot of issues, and it feels like I'm making a difference

The American Council of Education has criticised a US Department of Education investigation that suggested Harvard and Yale had failed to report millions of dollars in foreign funding.

The number of US institutions using education agencies to recruit undergraduate and graduate students has more than doubled in the past five years, according to a survey from the American Council on Education.

Similarities between the US and the UK’s higher education environments create fertile ground for institutional collaboration, according to a new report from the American Council on Education.

The US should adopt a “comprehensive national policy” to pursue an internationalisation agenda says the American Council on Education in a new report, which also underlines the value of federal funding in launching global education initiatives.

Many presidents are committed to internationalisation and understand that their institutions will not be vital in this part of the 21st century if they don’t think about how they position themselves internationally.

The US Department of Education has released its first ever “fully articulated” international education strategy in a bid to build a more globally savvy country. However, some educators argue it lacks detail, firm policy commitments, and funding to mitigate a 40% cut to spending on international programmes in 2011.
