Chad Sparber<\/a>, W. Bradford Wiley Chair in international economics at Colgate, contributed further support to the successful legal challenge in the form of policy briefs that he compiled with colleagues from the University of California\u2013Davis and Queens College\u2013CUNY. One brief, \u201cThe Devastating Economic Consequences of Pushing Foreign Students out of the Country,\u201d was published through UC Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis abrupt and arbitrary change to migration and education policy will inflict lasting and unnecessary damage to international students, and risk massive economic losses to U.S. higher education and to the U.S. economy overall,\u201d the experts noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paper went on to detail the consequences of ICE action. In the short term, those included an immediate reduction in the $41 billion and 450,000 jobs that foreign students have historically generated for the U.S. economy. Taking a broader view, Sparber and his colleagues noted that the barring of foreign students could also impact higher education as an intellectual commodity that currently generates financial returns \u201croughly equivalent to total exports of wheat, corn, coal, and natural gas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although ICE rescinded its policy on student visas in mid-July, at press time, the Trump administration policy was still suspending processing of skilled worker visas such as the H-1B or L. \u201cThis will not only affect many of our students as they enter the workforce,\u201d Sparber says, \u201cbut it also impacts Colgate\u2019s hiring as well.\u201d As part of an ongoing legal challenge, he has filed an evidentiary declaration with the District Court of the District of Columbia outlining the economic benefits of immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
