Abstract	Changes in foreign student services and tuition and admission policies affecting foreign students from 1983 to 1985 were surveyed at 681 public colleges and universities. With annual percentage increases below 1%, most colleges had stable (42%) or declining (30%) foreign enrollment since 1983. A third of the schools did not maintain foreign student services at fully adequate levels because of a combination of financial constraints, lack of interest in foreign students, and personnel and office space shortages. Schools were also concerned about foreign students' English language proficiency, and many schools were raising English test score requirements. A total of 43% of the schools indicated that admission standards for foreign students have become stiffer than those for domestic students. About half of the schools required foreign students to demonstrate their ability to cover their educational expenses before admission. While little statewide action has been taken, the action that did occur focused primarily on tuition policy. Legislative or court action taken on tuition policy occurred in Texas, California, New Mexico, and Idaho. Actions by other states on English language proficiency requirements for foreign teaching assistants are also specified. (SW)
