Almanac 2011: International

August 21, 2011
Cross-Border Connections Multiply, Despite Tight Budgets 1
Stuart Bradford for The Chronicle

The year in international education was marked by turmoil, both economic and political. The global recession continued to eat away at higher-education budgets. In the United States, international-education programs took a severe hit as Congress hammered out a compromise budget that would take it through the end of the 2011 fiscal year.

The Year in Review: Cross-Border Connections Multiply, Despite Tight Budgets

The year in international education was marked by turmoil, both economic and political. The global recession continued to eat away at higher-education budgets. In the United States, international-education programs took a severe hit as Congress hammered out a compromise budget that would take it through the end of the 2011 fiscal year.

Language and other international-education programs under Title VI of the Higher Education Act, as well as graduate research scholarships to send students abroad under the Fulbright-Hays Act, saw their funds cut by 40 percent.
