Immigration policy by proxy: How the US is using antisemitism settlements to curb foreign student enrollment

The Trump administration is linking antisemitism investigations at US universities with measures aimed at reducing international student enrolment. A settlement with Columbia University includes a clause requiring the institution to reduce its financial reliance on international students. As reported by Forbes, over 50 universities are under similar scrutiny, with broader immigration policy changes also underway. Critics highlight the economic and academic risks posed by declining international enrolments, especially in STEM and graduate programmes.
