The central office of the State University of New York System plans to use an extensive network of recruitment companies to significantly increase the enrollment of foreign students on its campuses, the university announced Thursday. By boosting enrollment of international students to 32,000 from the current 18,000, SUNY officials said, the university would be able to derive enough extra revenue from the full-tuition-paying students to create 3,000 scholarships for students to study abroad and fund international grants for its faculty members, among other things. SUNY's plan to depend heavily on recruitment agents is consistent with the views of its vice chancellor for global affairs, Mitch Leventhal, who has been an outspoken advocate for the use of agents in the debate that continues to roil international education circles.
