On April 7, Inside Higher Ed began collecting data to track the impact of the federal government's actions on international students, following reports of visa revocations. In two weeks, over 1,500 international students, spanning hundreds of colleges, experienced sudden changes in their visa status due to intensified scrutiny from the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security. This effort aims to understand the breadth of these changes and their implications for students and institutions. Despite comprehensive data collection, many colleges have not reported their international student status, indicating that the total number affected could be much higher than identified so far.
The recent revocation of international students' visas highlights a significant shift in federal policy, affecting students' educational opportunities and campus dynamics across various institutions.
