Summary:Despite persistent calls to support international students on campuses, there is little research about the attitudes that higher education professionals, in particular academic advisors, hold about international students. Through a neo-racism framework, we found multiple neo-racist attitudes that have the potential to negatively impact academic advisor-international student relations including (a) homogenization of identity, (b) forced assimilation, and (c) racialized fetishization. We explore academic advisors' attitudes and socialization processes and provide implications for praxis.
