US President Donald Trump has announced new limits on international student enrollment, capping it at 15% in American universities. A government memo, titled “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” says no more than 5% of students can come from any one country. Universities that fail to meet these rules may lose federal funding. The policy affects top institutions already exceeding the cap, forcing them to cut existing international classes. Experts say the move could reshape the US’s global education role and hurt opportunities for foreign students, including many from India studying under the Student Visa Exchange Program. (PC: X)
