Powell Visits, Says Visa Requirements Too Strict
CBS2CHICAGO ^ | 04-08-2006 | AP

(AP) CHICAGO Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says the United States made visa requirements too strict for foreign students following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Powell spoke today at the National School Boards Association convention in Chicago. He says many of the world's brightest international students enrolled at foreign universities after deciding it would be too difficult to get a visa here.

Powell says college presidents told him they couldn't afford to lose foreign students, who often pay higher tuition and take up little financial aid.

Visa requirements got tougher after it was discovered one of the Sept. 11 hijackers entered the country on a student visa. International applications declined sharply after the State Department imposed the new rules.

Powell says the restrictions are loosening, but still have a way to go.
