Currency Internationalization

As higher education continues to internationalize, the United States higher education system remains a predominantly English-speaking entity. This research-in-progress will examine how United States institutions of higher education engage with English-language learning international alumni to explore how these alumni are asked to give back to their alma mater. I hypothesize that many institutions of higher educaiton may be perpetuing academic capitalism by viewing international alumni as sources of financial support and not as sources of rich linguistic capital that could be leveraged to further diversify the institution and facilitate equitable access to higher education.

The Cost

Over the years, there has been a tremendous increase in enrollment in higher education as well as the cost of attendance. This article comparatively analyzes the higher education finance between the United States of America (U.S.A.) and Ghana, taking into consideration the goals of higher education, enrollment and expenditure, and the various sources of finance available to students in both countries. The source of education finance between both countries is examined through the lens of neoliberalism, which prioritizes capitalism, free trade, and market in public institutions, specifically higher education. While there are disparities in the financing of higher education in both countries, there is a similarity in the limited access to higher education and funding by students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Maria Mitchell was a pioneer in many aspects: first observer of a comet with a telescope, she received the Gold Medal from the King of Denmark and became the first female astronomer and astronomy professor in the United States of America. But she also got involved in feminism, participating in the foundation of the Association for the Advancement of Women in 1873 as well as promoting the access to higher education for women and their inclusion in science.

The Many

The field of higher education has seen great increases in the mobility of international students over the last decades. Due to this trend, not only has global educational programming become increasingly important, but also, the development of appropriate visa regulations and schemes to support international students has come into debate. The F-1 visa in the United States and the Aufenthaltstitel for students in Germany are two cases, which are similar in many ways but different in others. Due to Germany’s status as a member state of the European Union, directives created at Union level, also have a significant impact on Germany's legislation. To be able to understand the procedure and benefits and/or disadvantages attained by the students themselves in each scheme, it is important to analysis the many aspects of the visa schemes. It's not better or worse, it’s just different’ is a phrase which, in the case of visa regulations, holds true. Important for both schemes however, is their ability to further the ideals of globalization through allowing student academic mobility.
