  • Letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken
    January 27, 2021 The Honorable Antony Blinken U.S. Department of State Office of the Secretary Room 7226 Harry S. Truman Building 2201 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Blinken, On behalf of the American Council on Education (ACE) and the undersigned higher education associations, we write to congratulate you on your confirmation, as well as to bring to your attention major issues of importance for the higher education community. We believe there are several actions you can take as Secretary of State to help support our international students and restore the United States as a destination of choice for global students and scholars. Dr. Samantha Power, administrator-designate of the U.S. Agency for International Development, recently wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine that “one of the best ways to showcase the United States’ ingenuity and know-how is to again make its universities the most attractive in the world to foreign talent.”1 As you are aware, international students and their enrollment in U.S. institutions have an enormous economic impact on the overall U.S. economy. Unfortunately, recent surveys have shown a 43 percent decline in new international student enrollment at U.S. institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent study from NAFSA: Association of International Educators found that the overall economic impact generated by international students had had declined by $1.8 billion during the 2019-2020 academic year, from $40.5 billion in the prior year.2 The declining enrollment numbers for 2020 will unfortunately contribute to the challenges our economy confronts as we rebuild from the global pandemic.
