Higher-ed funding idea: Charge international students more
Each fall, thousands of students from overseas apply to study at the University of Washington and other state schools. So why not charge them extra, then use that money to help solve higher education鈥檚 funding woes?
That鈥檚 the thinking behind a new Senate bill that could raise as much as $60 million over two years by levying a 20 percent surcharge on international students.
