You mentioned OPT, but didn't explain what the acronym stands for (Optional Practical Training - I had to look it up), or what it does. Plain english, please.

Why numbers are dropping:

If a recession is coming, and American unemployment rises, it will be difficult, especially at public universities, to justify admitting & accommodating international students to taxpayers. Yes, these students are paying full freight, but they're more costly than most American students. As in: A university has to have a visa management office/staff/computer system. Not free, not cheap. There's more, but you get the idea.
