International

Trending this year: Two issues dominated international education in 2013: a potential slowdown in the flow of foreign students to the United States and a heated debate over whether global partnerships threaten academic freedom.

At the same time, university administrators dealt with tricky issues as they opened and maintained campuses abroad.
