IIE administered the third survey in its COVID-19 Snapshot Survey Series to U.S. higher education institutions, tracking institutional plans for the next academic year and how this will impact options for international students. The data will be complemented by a discussion with representatives from two U.S. higher education institutions and the decisions and challenges they are facing regarding their international student populations in fall 2020.
