Since January, over 1,000 international students have had their visas revoked under the Trump administration, sparking legal and public outcry. A group of Georgia students have filed a lawsuit alleging illegal termination of their visas, while Democratic-led states seek to halt deportations amid claims of an 'ideological deportation policy.' Institutions, including Harvard and Rice University, are publicly supporting their international students and expressing concerns over the broader impacts on academia and innovation. Students have also protested, emphasizing the need for protection and support during this tumultuous time.
This policy, which strips noncitizen students and faculty of their lawful immigration status, threatens our academic institutions, economic prosperity, and global leadership in education and scientific innovation.
The continued revocation of student visas without notice or explanation deeply concerns me.
International students are fundamental, vital, cherished members of the Rice community, and right now, they need our particular support.
More than 1,000 students have had their visas revoked since the Trump administration began, prompting lawsuits and protests across campuses.
