Two Texas universities – Texas State in San Marcos and the University of Houston – are in the midst of adapting their fall plans to the recent Trump administration guidelines. Texas State has a relatively small international student population of about 550; the University of Houston expects about 2,300 for the fall semester. The universities stand to lose money if international student enrollment drops. But officials from both schools told Texas Standard that the loss would be much more than financial.

Rosario Davis is assistant vice president and director of international affairs at Texas State. She told Texas Standard host David Brown on Monday that there is a "very high level of concern" about the new rule. The university has planned to return to in-person instruction in the fall, but she worried that any changes to that plan because of COVID-19 could jeopardize intentional students' visas.
