Abstract

Refugees encounter multiple barriers to integrating into higher education (HE). Federal regulations in the United States contour refugee outcomes through disincentives for education integration through incentivizing direct placement into the workforce. Overwhelming financial constraints prevent federal and state policy makers from financing education foremost for refugees. A clear objective of this study was to inform state legislatures and other policy decision making bodies of the possibilities of achieving both seemingly conflicting ends simultaneously through the available tools of electronic education. In conclusion, our research has shown that the content regarding financial pressured policy decisions affecting refugees and higher education mostly reflects world views that are incompliant with 21st century educational realities for refugees.
