39. He Said What? The International Student Debate in Canada

This week we navigate the rocky terrain of the current Canadian higher education landscape with Alex Usher, the president of Higher Education Strategy Associates. The recent decision by the Canadian federal government to impose a cap on international student applications has reverberated across the student body, leading to internal conflicts among Canadian college leaders, including some pretty spicy name-calling. What’s driving this change in Canadian higher education? Could it signify trouble for the once-thriving trend of global student mobility? Alex unravels this complex and fascinating issue offering a clear, entertaining and, at times, shocking tale of the trials and tribulations of higher ed up north.
