The University of Wisconsin-Madison has experienced a significant decline in new international students due to delays in visa processing, travel bans, and threats of deportation.
According to recent data, the number of new international students attending the university this fall has dropped sharply. This decline follows concerns raised by college officials regarding the impact of Trump administration policies on international enrollment.
UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin described the termination of more than two dozen student and alumni visas as "arbitrary and unjust", highlighting the valuable contributions international students bring to campus, including ideas, energy, and determination.
This development has sparked concerns about the future of international student enrollment at the university. Author's summary: UW-Madison sees drop in international students.
