The State Department reported about 8,000 student visas revoked since the start of the administration’s second term, part of a broader set of SEVIS status terminations and visa actions that colleges say have disrupted international enrollments. Universities—already worried about yield—face potential declines in tuition revenue, research talent pipelines and campus diversity. Some SEVIS terminations have affected students who were later exonerated or who were witnesses rather than alleged perpetrators, prompting reversals in specific cases and heightened institutional concern about process transparency. International‑student advisers and legal offices are urging campuses to bolster documentation, emergency advising and contingency planning. Clarification: SEVIS is the Department of Homeland Security database that tracks nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors; administrative terminations of SEVIS records can prevent students from attending while they pursue appeals or reinstatement.
