Chinese international students contribute billions to U.S. universities but face an "invisible tax" of institutional neglect. This mixed-method study reveals that campus climate, rather than formal support services, shapes student wellbeing, exposing how universities profit while undervaluing students' cultural and social capital.
The internationalization of U.S. higher education has generated significant economic gains, yet these revenue-generating students often encounter institutional climates that marginalize their contributions while exploiting their presence—a phenomenon termed the "invisible tax." Drawing on Bourdieu's relational sociology alongside critical race and organizational theories, this book shifts the focus from deficit-based narratives to institutional accountability. It offers an evidence-based framework for fostering inclusive campus environments that value the capital international students bring.
The book is an essential resource for researchers, academics and graduate students in international education, higher education studies and organizational behavior, particularly those examining policy volatility, institutional support systems and student wellbeing.
