The American Council on Education and IIE have announced a new partnership to “address escalating challenges” in higher education internationalisation.

Stakeholders are pressing the US government to rescind a recent statement on the use of third-party providers that they fear will have "unintended but serious consequences".

Internationalisation activities at US campuses have been mapped in a new report, which suggests that, although not a priority for the majority of institutions, many are looking to rebound activities in the years ahead.

Institutions across the US have said that being recognised in a respected research framework will help to attract "strong" students.

US institutions that were barred from using commission-based agents to recruit international students are permitted to do so after an amendment was signed.

Education organisations in the US are urging the government to develop a strategy to increase international enrolment and exchanges to pre-Covid levels.

US stakeholders are appealing to the government to allow international students without access to WHO-approved vaccines to be able to arrive in the US.

The diminishing appeal of the US could have devastating effects on the US’ competitiveness in fields such as AI and superconductor manufacturing, according to an ACE report.
