NAFSA - Internationalization in a time of global disruption

NAFSA's March 2019 Trends and Insights compilation has several articles on what international educators can do to protect and advance international education in a difficult climate. The essays include important acknowledgement that institutions should be urged to move beyond revenue production as their focus. Beyond revenue enhancement, rankings are often the reason universities embrace internationalization. Ellen Hazelkorn's essay advocates that "Universities should resist using rankings to promote their institutions or provide faulty information with the intention of improving their ranked position. Instead, they should focus on improving the quality of the learning environment and the student experience for all students."
