How does this talk of increasing overseas enrollment square with this NYT article that Britiain is reducing international students (cast in the guise of an anti-terrorism move, natch)?
Britain Plans to Cut Flow of Foreign Students

LONDON - In the face of mounting concern about abuse of student visa rules by migrant jobseekers and potential terrorists, Britain said Sunday that it was planning an immediate tightening of its border controls that could reduce the flow of people entering the country as students by tens of thousands a year.
The new rules will apply to all applicants from outside the European Union, including the United States. But the primary focus appeared likely to be the Indian subcontinent and countries in the Arab and Muslim world, both because of the large numbers of allegedly fake applicants who originate there and because of concerns about combating terrorism by Islamic extremists.
