U.S. Revokes Visas for International Students at Multiple Universities

The University of Cincinnati is addressing the recent revocation of F-1 visas for several international students, as announced by President Neville Pinto. The Department of Homeland Security has not provided specific reasons for these visa cancellations, which have also been reported at universities nationwide, affecting around 300 students according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Pinto emphasized the university's commitment to supporting the impacted students during this distressing time. Meanwhile, protests are occurring at Arizona State University, where eight international students have similarly lost their visas, sparking concerns over government actions perceived as targeting immigrant rights. These visa revocations coincide with increased scrutiny of pro-Palestinian activism on campuses, although university officials have clarified that the revocations are not directly linked to political protests. The situation reflects broader national tensions regarding immigration policies under the Trump administration, with institutions striving to navigate the implications for their international student communities.
