Serious concerns raised over plan to cancel the visas of students from China studying in ‘critical fields’
The Trump administration has escalated its attacks on US research universities by announcing that it will begin revoking visas for Chinese students. If fully implemented, the new policy would have a significant impact on the research community, with more than 277,000 Chinese students enrolled at US universities in the 2023–2024 academic year, according annual data compiled by the Institute of International Education. The figure represents almost a quarter of the international students studying in the US.
