Next fall, the International Center will start collecting a fee for international students and scholars designed especially for tracking the whereabouts of those students. Since 1996, all international students and scholars have been required to pay a fee under the Illegal Immigration Reference and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996, to ensure the locality of foreigners in the U.S. educational systems. Tracking allows access to information about each student or scholar, most importantly a student's location, in case of a foreign attack on the U.S., threats of terrorism or other national safety issues. National opposition has grown in response to this proposed plan. Thomas Grouling, adviser to foreign students and scholars at Drake, has taken a stand in this ongoing debate.
