Before You Vote 'No' To Reducing Foreign Enrollment in American Colleges - Hear This

The Smerconish Podcast

Michael Smerconish urges listeners to hit pause before casting a reflexive "no" vote on today's poll question at Smerconish.com, which asks: "Should U.S. colleges reduce foreign enrollment to better preserve American social mobility and promote national unity?" Drawing on a provocative New York Times essay by Princeton professor David Bell, he explores the complex trade-offs behind foreign student enrollment—from economic benefits and global prestige to issues of fairness, access, and national cohesion. Is it time to rebalance the system in favor of American students? Or is limiting foreign enrollment a mistake? Don’t just vote—listen first. Then, head to Smerconish.com to cast your ballot.
