Proposed DHS Fee for International Student Work Programs Sparks Concern

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a new $70,000 fee for universities sponsoring international students in post-graduation work authorization programs. This measure, part of a broader federal effort to regulate foreign enrollment and work, is drawing criticism from higher education leaders. They warn the significant cost could deter international students from choosing the U.S., potentially impacting American universities and the economy.
