Survey of internationalization

A University World News report of a survey of 1,300 institutions around the world indicated that the highest ranked (at 32%) outcome of internationalization initiatives is increasing students' knowledge of international issues.  With this as the most favored outcome, it is unfortunate that the most significant obstacle to internationalization was the ability of students to pay for their experiences.  Which begs the question - if internationalization is central to higher education, then why would extra fees be required in order to partake of this essential experience?
