American educators are warning that a proposal from the Trump administration could drive foreign students away from universities in the United States. The plan centers on a fee of US$70,000 tied to work training for international students. Universities would be the ones paying when their foreign students seek work experience. Educators believe a charge of that size would deter foreign enrollment. They warn that losing these students would cost the country billions in economic contributions. They also see a risk to the country's global influence if fewer students from abroad come.
