University of Cincinnati defers international student fee

Amid resistance on campus, the University of Cincinnati has determined that it will defer a proposed $150 extra international student fee - at least for this year. Criticism of the fee was based on tight budgets that international students already face as a result of higher overall fees. From this blogger's perspective, couple this critique with the fact that international students generally receive little or no financial assistance and they are, themselves, an educational resource to the institution, to conclude that an additional fee of any kind is probably unjustified.
