Our president, Hafeez Lakhani, was quoted in this article in the International Business Times on expanding the student loan forgiveness plan to include parents:

"You are not addressing the bigger problem standing in front of us which is the enrollment decline," said Hafeez Lakhani, founder of education-focused Lakhani Coaching in New York. "The enrollment decline is absolutely linked to affordability."

Democrats Push For Parent Inclusion In Student Loan Forgiveness Senate Democrats want Biden's student loan forgiveness program to extend to parent borrowers of Pell grant recipients.

President Hafeez Lakhani was quoted in the following article regarding student loan forgiveness:

"That’s what I worry about,” said Hafeez Lakhani, the founder and president of education-focused Lakhani Coaching in New York. “When I heard about loan forgiveness, I thought it’s misdirected.”

“You are not addressing the bigger problem standing in front of us which is the enrollment decline,” he said. “The enrollment decline is absolutely linked to affordability.”

'It’s not enough:' Student loan forgiveness means less for the millions of borrowers who never finished college For borrowers who never earned a diploma, student loan forgiveness may not go far enough.

"Reduced enrollments from international students, Lakhani says, are one way pandemic-era college campuses are not only less diverse but less reflective of a globalized workforce"

What Gen Z Can Teach Employers About Diverse Hiring A new generation is entering the labor market with different ideas about how their identities inform their work.

“By September 2022, I don’t expect we’ll be back at pre- pandemic levels, which is a massive economic problem for U.S. colleges.”

Lakhani Coaching President Hafeez Lakhani was recently featured in a report by Bloomberg Law on the ongoing repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on college admissions, particularly the impact of decreasing international student levels on domestic applicants.

International Students at U.S. Colleges Plunge Amid Pandemic (1) International students attending U.S. universities plummeted in the last academic year mostly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, though early numbers show a partial rebound for the current semester.

"The recently declining number of international students coupled with slumping domestic enrollment could spell disaster, says Lakhani, who suggests that the general trend could lead to cuts in financial aid for domestic students and the closure of academic departments and even some colleges."

Declining International Student Numbers Stabilize After a sharp drop in international students in the U.S. in 2020, early numbers for fall 2021 point to a rebound.
