“…Logistically, international students face regulatory barriers to studying in foreign countries and significant emotional and social challenges (Baklashova & Kazakov, 2016;Tas, 2013;Wu et al, 2015). Hurdles exist for all international student destinations, however, countries considered 'top hosts' like the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom share some characteristics of driving a harder course on student visas, while international students in countries that are typically 'senders' tend to go easier on the regulations for the few international students they host (Sin et al, 2021). For example, the U.S. visa system confronts international students with many hurdles, including an abundance of fees, complicated rules, and strict rules and consequences regulating the international students' stay in the United States (Urias & Camp Yeakey, 2009).…”

The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world we live in in the most invasive ways. Higher education institutions around the globe are faced with new emerging questions about successful leadership, particularly when it comes to the international campus population in times of crisis. Supported by Grounded Theory, this comparative case study illuminates how university presidents from five different countries are informed in their perceptions of the international students on their campuses during the COVID-19 crisis. The results of the study will produce policy implications informing how higher education leaders can navigate global crises while simultaneously best serving their international student populations.

“…Yet, more scholars have observed a drift from academic and socio-cultural rationales towards economic rationales including employability (Brooks, 2018;Courtois, 2018Courtois, , 2019Dvir & Yemini, 2017). However, in Norway, the main rationale is to enhance the quality of higher education-a generally academic rationale (Sin et al, 2019). While it is difficult to ascertain clear and specific student outcomes of mobility, much evidence points to short-term mobility as a potential opportunity for learning from contrast, which can increase students' international understanding, abilities to reflect, personal confidence and maturity.…”

“…A separate politically sensitive issue is the treatment of domestic and foreign students. In many countries, foreign students pay more since it is assumed that higher tuition fees for them are less politically controversial [15]. The common approach is to treat international students as «cash cows» [16, pp.…”

The article discusses conceptual grounds of tuition fee policies based on literature review and the study of country-specific cases of the USA, France and Russia in order to highlight general trends and identify practices which can be considered for implementation in Russia. The Authors believe that scholarly publications offer contradicting empirical results related to the impact of tuition fee policies on the performance of higher education institutes. Several theoretical frameworks such as human capital, demand and consumer choice theories as well as the concept of new managerialism are used to explain controversial empirical evidence. Moreover, the effects of tuition fee policies are proven to be contingent on multiple factors such as state governance system, dynamics of labor market, organizational design of higher education, maturity of financial assistance system, prestige and uniqueness of specific educational programs. It is concluded that, apart from PhD studies, overall trend is towards wider application and increase in tuition fees combined with high price for foreign students. Doctoral students in most cases do not pay tuition fees, but get salary for work in research projects conducted to develop new knowledge. Both in the USA and France the best education is provided by highly selective expensive private institutions (although in both countries there are high quality public education). In Russia the most attractive, though expensive for those who pay tuition fees, are public universities because they provide high quality education. Potential change in tuition fee policy in Russia should acknowledge that, in general, higher tuition fees are justified for studies providing higher future earnings. Increase in tuition fees should be coupled with more developed financial aid system.
