It Can Happen Here

Don’t know who or why or from which department. I imagine this is happening all over the country right now.

The Department of Homeland Security has revoked the visas of several University of Kentucky graduate students. The move affects “a small number of international graduate students at UK,” President Eli Capilouto said in a news release Friday evening. The number of students affected was not specified. It comes as the Trump Administration has targeted diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at colleges and universities around the country. “We recognize the impact visa and/or status revocation has on our students,” Capilouto said. “I know, too, that this news will surface many questions. We are working to understand changing federal policies that are impacting many college campuses and are encouraging our international students to reach out to International Student and Scholar Services with immigration-related questions or concerns.”
