The Trump administration has escalated enforcement actions affecting international students and federal financial aid in higher education. Over 6,000 student visas have been revoked this year, including tens to hundreds linked to allegations of criminal behavior or terrorism support, contributing to enrollment uncertainty. Concurrently, proposed drastic modifications to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program threaten eligibility for educators and public workers by disqualifying employers engaged in activities the administration deems illegal, potentially undermining debt relief access. These measures coincide with broader federal actions adding compliance burdens for school districts over transgender policies and heightened scrutiny of federal education research funding and contracts. Stakeholders express concerns about impacts on student access, institutional stability, and sector trust.
