one college official said 25 students’ visas were revoked could far exceed the roughly 160 that have been publicly reported The institutions contacted by Inside Higher Ed include underresourced regional public universities private religious colleges facing steep enrollment declines and a few community colleges Some of these institutions are supported by one-person international student offices with very green infrastructure for helping a population of international students the institutions only began enrolling within the past decade or so They are all keeping a close eye on their SEVIS databases watching for daily updates on students’ residency status and preparing for all eventualities from ICE raids on campus to legal challenges from students The president of one small faith-based institution, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he’d asked his staff to check their records last Thursday after reading an Inside Higher Ed article about SEVIS terminations The college president added that the students were not terminated for the two reasons typically cited by ICE: past criminal activity or being a “foreign policy threat.” Instead they were given only a “general” justification “meaning we have no idea why their visas have been revoked,” he said we believe in honoring and obeying the law It’s very difficult to do that when you don’t quite understand exactly what laws are being applied,” he said “We feel like all we can do is wait and see who spoke to Inside Higher Ed on the condition of anonymity said one of their students was informed of her visa cancellation while she was in the hospital assistant vice president for global services and senior international officer at Campbellsville University declined to say how many of his students had their visas revoked But he said some students’ SEVIS records were terminated for criminal infractions “even though they were found innocent or the case [was] dismissed.” “That aspect is even more disturbing,” he said Earlier arrests at Columbia and Tufts Universities and the University of Alabama were largely focused on students and alumni active in pro-Palestinian campus activism But the latest wave of student visa revocations appears to have little to do with political activity said the Trump administration has been able to escalate its visa revocations so quickly in part because of the robust recordkeeping on international students Between SEVIS and university compliance documents that record things like academic standing and residency international students are “some of the most tracked people in the country,” documented in a network that has grown increasingly panoptic in the years since SEVIS was placed under ICE jurisdiction following the Sept “There’s no other group that has anything comparable,” she said “We’re seeing the consequences of that system being used in other ways now.” an immigration lawyer and the director of Columbia Law School’s Immigrants’ Rights Clinic said that while the targeted students at first seemed to be largely from the Middle East that focus has expanded to a general attack on international students “Students’ sense of fear is escalating week by week,” she said Much of that loss, Glass said, can be attributed to a significant upswing in visa denials from the fastest-growing countries of origin for international students, namely India and Bangladesh, before Trump took office. That decline is almost certain to get worse as the Trump administration applies its strict scrutiny of student visa holders to visa applicants prepares a potentially sweeping travel ban and cuts the research funding that draws so many global applicants “Universities aren’t thinking this is a one-time thing that will pass They are seeing this as a reorientation of university policies “They are having serious conversations about restructuring their budgets.” Responding to the chaotic moment has been especially hard for international student offices at small colleges told Inside Higher Ed that he’s been “perplexed and very frustrated” by the student visa revocations “Students are inquiring about their status … We are not notified and the only way we know is by searching the SEVIS database,” he said “I’ve been seeking guidance from [ICE’s Student Exchange and Visitor Program] on what a university should do do we inform the students of what we find or would we be obstructing justice?” fairly new international student support offices it’s crucial for university leaders to get involved in the student visa issues they’re facing “The whole university has to be involved in this effort and that should be an intentional strategy,” she said “This shouldn’t just be delegated to international offices especially if there’s just one person working there.” One international student adviser at a regional public college said they’ve had trouble marshaling their campus resources to do that and the high stakes give way to confusion and paralysis in their four-person office “As international enrollment here has grown our office has been shrinking,” said the adviser who spoke with Inside Higher Ed on the condition of anonymity out of concern over backlash against his institution “It’s been a real struggle to handle this alone and we’re having difficulty getting timely guidance from other university offices namely general counsel … but because there are so many liability concerns around this Many of the small colleges struggling to respond to student visa revocations have come to rely on international tuition dollars to support flagging revenue from shrinking domestic enrollment or declines in state funding If they lose more to student visa revocations—or experience a decline in international applicants due to the Trump administration’s policies—it could be catastrophic The anonymous international student adviser said international enrollment had already been declining because of a difficult job market for visa holders postgraduation He’s worried the latest challenges will propel the downturn into a nosedive “Why would you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and travel to the other side of the world to be educated somewhere that doesn’t value you “If [international enrollment] drops off very significantly there would be programs that would have to re-evaluate if they can continue to function.” The president of one small private college told Inside Higher Ed that their international population had grown to nearly half of their student body in recent years “If our international student population were to just dwindle I

healing for students at Campbellsville University after one of their classmates was killed in February thanking their community for its support while also giving back “People usually grow a lot out of hardship and challenges,” said junior Katlyn Whitworth “We are really working toward just being there for one another.” A semester removed from the death of 18-year-old Josiah Kilman Campbellsville Students are saying thanks to the community through service “CU Serve Day is a part of the Campbellsville mission week that we do here every year,” Whitworth explained “It’s basically just an opportunity for students to go out and serve the community.” “It’s a way of kind of giving back to the community and just learning more about the community in which you exist,” Larson said These acts of service include making meals at the soup kitchen which serves more than 400 people weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays and helping clean up a popular walking trail here in the community by partnering with the organization Trail Town “I think we’re meant to connect with people,” said sophomore Audrey Dejaynes “That’s difficult but serving helps you do that because it puts you into a very humble atmosphere.” CU Serve Day involves showing love and appreciation for a community that was so supportive of students after the tragedy in February “I feel like as a student as long as you put yourself out there and you’re willing to be there for others they’re going to be there for you also,” said Larson serving the community is also a part of their personal growth and faith “That’s a big part of serving and the importance of serving,” Dejaynes said “It takes you out of your comfort zone and put you into other people’s comfort zones.” “that’s a great way to kind of show them the love of Jesus and also show them that we care as Christians and we want to be there for them.” Thanks for visiting We use cookies to ensure you have the best browsing experience on our website.
