flag U.S. universities urge DHS to withdraw a rule ending international students' Duration of Status, fearing enrollment and diversity losses.

flag U.S. higher education institutions, including the University of Louisville, SUNY, the University of Michigan, and others, have collectively urged the Department of Homeland Security to withdraw or revise a proposed rule that would end the Duration of Status policy for international students. flag The rule, which would replace flexible status with fixed visa terms, has drawn widespread concern over its potential to disrupt student enrollment, reduce campus diversity, harm institutional finances, and weaken America’s global academic competitiveness. flag Institutions argue the change would create uncertainty, increase administrative burdens, and deter global talent, particularly affecting smaller schools and underfunded programs. flag The public comment period remains open, with academic leaders calling for policy stability and meaningful dialogue before finalizing any changes.
