New federal rules could chill Philadelphia's international student economy

Original: Philly’s economy partly depends on international students. New federal rules could have a ‘huge chilling effect’

Philadelphia's economy relies in part on international students, who contribute to universities, local housing, and consumer spending. A WHYY report says newly proposed federal rules affecting international students could have a 'huge chilling effect' on that contribution, prompting concern from educators and local business voices about the impact on the city's economy.

Why now: Concerns are mounting that stricter federal immigration rules will deter international students who boost Philadelphia's economy.
