  <body><![CDATA[<div>With international student enrollment in American universities dropping 19% at the start of the August 2025 academic year, Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera joined the radio segment <em>Here &amp; Now</em> on WBUR (part of the NPR network) to share his concerns about the steep decline. As a former international student himself, Cabrera underscores how essential global learners are to American universities and why reversing this trend is critical for the nation’s academic and economic vitality. Check out the segment <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/02/02/international-students-drop">here</a>!</div>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
