Eight Oklahoma State University students have recently had their visas revoked by the federal government, according to university spokesperson Mack Burke. It is unclear why the visas were revoked or if the students have been deported. OSU is currently providing support and guidance to the affected students. The University of Central Oklahoma has also reported that “as many as four” of their students have had their visas revoked.
A report by Inside Higher Ed revealed that approximately 150 students at 50 institutions across the country have had their visas revoked, suggesting that the actual number may be higher. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that over 300 student visas have been revoked, referring to the affected individuals as “lunatics.”
The University of Oklahoma spokesperson stated that they are unable to confirm if any of their students have been impacted by the visa revocations due to student privacy laws. This situation is still developing, and more information may be revealed as the story unfolds.
