I might get this up to date in the future, but the situation is evolving rapidly, and I don't have enough time to devote to constantly updating it. When I started doing this last week, I was not aware of anyone else doing so. If you've somehow landed on this random github page looking for up to date info on nationwide student visa revocations you should go here instead: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/global/international-students-us/2025/04/07/where-students-have-had-their-visas-revoked
~ 645 reported as of April 10
Student visa revocations since March by Jonathan Gerhardson is marked with CC0 1.0.
Attribution, if appropriate, is appreciated.
Updates April 8
Now in alphabetical order. Not by state because I accidentally broke all the links trying to do that. Adding a .csv version.
Removed AI generated disclaimer, changed to CC0.
Now using only initials for affected individuals and only if those names have been widely reported elsewhere. Stylized in lower case (j.g.) to avoid confusion with acronyms of schools/agencies. Doing this for both privacy and character count reasons.
Began adding info about detentions. Format will be "x (y detained)" for right now. Not yet complete.
I am not adding new schools at this time that have declined comment, but am adding schools that have affirmitively stated there have been no cancelled visas, along with the date of that claim.
I'm doing my best to verify all the information, but it's changing every day. You can expect nothing is fabricated, I can't promise it's up to the minute accurate. See git logs for which schools have seen updates when.
****Tracking visa statuses, etc. for non-students is important, but out of scope for this project because I am not currently aware of a good way to go about doing that. ****
TO DO:
- Link two sources for schools which only have one. Ideally one is a press release from school, other is reeputable news source.
- Possibly add column about for visa revocations that are known to be related to political views (?)
- More state schools need to be added
- Find a better way to compile and update this info sso it can be updated daily as more details become available
Please email me if you're aware of any new info, or think I missed something or would like to contribute. jon.gerhardson at proton.me
Overview
At least 218 visas revoked, nine people detained.
This is an evolving story, information presented is believed to be accurate, but it is likely incomplete.
