International
Students
Advised
to
Return
to U.S.
Campuses
Before
Trump
Inauguration
Colleges
across
the U.S.
are
urging
international
students
to
return
before
President-elect
Donald
Trump’s
inauguration
on Jan.
20, amid
concerns
he could
reintroduce
travel
bans.
Past
Actions
In 2017,
Trump
issued a
travel
ban
targeting
citizens
from
several
predominantly
Muslim
countries,
affecting
students
and
faculty.
Over
40,000
visas
were
denied,
though
President
Joe
Biden
later
rescinded
the ban.
Current
Concerns
With
over 1.1
million
international
students
enrolled
in U.S.
schools,
many
fear
Trump
could
expand
previous
restrictions.
Students
like
Jacky Li
of UC
Berkeley
worry
about
disruptions
to
academic
research
and
international
collaboration.
Potential
Policy
Changes
Trump
has
hinted
at
reviving
the
travel
ban,
expanding
it to
more
countries,
and
introducing
stricter
visa
screenings.
He also
proposed
revoking
visas
for
students
involved
in
anti-American
protests.
University
Advisories
Schools
like
Harvard,
Cornell,
and USC
are
advising
students
to
return
early,
citing
possible
delays
or new
restrictions.
Some,
such as
Cornell,
warn
that
China
and
India
may be
added to
a
revised
ban
list.
Students
are
urged to
plan
ahead to
avoid
complications.
