New federal rules threaten Philadelphia's international student economy
Original: Philly’s economy partly depends on international students. New federal rules could have a ‘huge chilling effect’
Federal policy changes could sharply reduce the number of international students coming to Philadelphia, where universities and local businesses rely heavily on their tuition and spending. Economists and education leaders warn the new rules could have a 'huge chilling effect' on enrollment, with ripple effects for the city's economy, which partly depends on the revenue and jobs tied to foreign students.
Why now: Concerns are rising over how stricter federal immigration and visa rules will hit university enrollment and the local economy.
