| US colleges and universities could see a 30% to 40% drop in new
| international student arrivals this fall thanks to a combination of
| factors like backlogs for visa interviews, added scrutiny at
| consulates, and a travel ban blocking scholars from 19 countries.
|
| After freezing interview appointments at the "absolute worst time"
| of the year, the State Department is conducting new social media
| reviews that are taking up to a week for an individual visa
| applicant, said Steve Springer, director of regulatory practice
| liaison for NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
|
| "All of these delays are piling up on top of each other," he said.
| "Early indications to us are they were overly optimistic about how
| fast the social media vetting would go."
Which Big .EDU presidents and deans are preparing to shut their
campus doors in 2026?

"This marks yet another big win in the global fight for free speech.
We've covered Marco Rubio and Revolver's Darren Beattie taking on
Brazil's censorship tyrants, and those efforts are already making
waves. Step by step, the pushback is bringing freedom back onto the
world stage. Trump's latest move in Brazil was a free speech nuke."
