Amid concerns about housing shortages, pressure on public services and labour market imbalances, the Canadian government has announced a policy shift to reduce the share of temporary residents--including temporary foreign workers, international students and asylum seekers--in the national population. The government aims to lower the proportion of…

Although thousands of Iraqi refugees who worked with the Allied Forces during the Iraq war have been resettled in the United States, little is known about their experiences. In the aggregate, they are a well-educated, multilingual subset of refugees who aspire to earn college and higher education degrees. In this article, I draw from a series of…

I investigate the effect of lowering welfare benefits for refugees on children's outcomes in Denmark. For identification, I exploit a reform that gave refugees lower benefits if they were granted residency after September 2015. The exact date of residency is plausible random due to the nature of the asylum process. By using Danish register data, I…

This study collected student-faculty interaction data from faculty-in-residence programs on college campuses. We developed an empirically tested model using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The model suggests that student-faculty interaction in faculty-in-residence programs is best explained through five factors:…

Broad-access institutions (BAIs) play an important role in expanding educational opportunities and promoting upward mobility; however, not all communities have equal access to BAIs. This inequality affects where students go to college--it even affects how they get there, how much they pay, and whether they complete their degrees. This brief…

The notion of agency has been widely used in various disciplines but is relatively new in the field of employability of international graduates and returnees. This discussion paper addresses this gap by unpacking the determinants that influence the enactment of agency of international Ph.D. graduates in Australia and Ph.D. returnees in China. In…

This article examines the legal novelty of the so-called 'Ausbildungsduldung' (temporary suspension of deportation for the purpose of training) in Germany. Since research on this topic is still sparse, the current article analyses the impact of toleration status on training trajectories of young refugees. These trajectories are strongly linked to…

This study examines the movement of students in suburban Detroit through open enrollment, or inter-district school choice. We examine whether absolute levels and changes in the district enrollment of Black, economically disadvantaged, and nonresident students are perceived as racial threats by suburban families, leading them to exit their local…

Over the last several decades, postsecondary institutions have increasingly enrolled out-of-state and international nonresident students. The increase in out-of-state enrollment has important implications for state higher education funding and policy. Public institutions, particularly research institutions, increased nonresident student enrollment…

The legal immigration status of a parent or child has no bearing on the rights of the student to enroll in a public school. The laws of Illinois and the United States guarantee all students equal access to a free public education through grade twelve until the age of 21, regardless of legal immigrant status. Every school is required to guarantee…

Residential living requirements benefit students in a variety of meaningful ways. Living on campus can be an effective conduit in helping college students feel more committed and connected to their institutions. Existing research has demonstrated that students who live on-campus tend to be retained at higher rates, achieve higher grade point…

For some students, the transition from primary to secondary school is a difficult and stressful event that can have potential negative effects on their psychological wellbeing, social adaptability, and academic achievement. Although several individual, environmental, and family protective factors have been investigated, direct and indirect…

The traditional mission of community colleges is rooted in the provision of sub-baccalaureate education at a low price, but a total of 19 states have changed their legislative policies and currently allow community colleges to offer community college baccalaureate (CCB) degree programs. This study examines the impact of CCB adoption on the tuition…

Using validation theory as a conceptual framework this study sought to better understand the experiences of immigrant-origin students who were born outside of the United States (first-generation immigrant-origin students) attending a rural community college. Data on people who have immigrated to the United States show that immigrant-origin peoples…

North Carolina has become the first state to require all students to prove their residency status through a thirdparty process when applying for college and financial assistance. NC Residency Determination Service (RDS) has taken the responsibilities from individual institutions to determine whether a student's residency status is in state or out…
