Not all, but some schools seem to be continuing or reinstating bans and policies that run against the mission and history of American higher education. Here is an example case, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, where the answer to “Are they?” will be known when admission decisions are made public.
FROM THE GUARDIAN regarding the allegation that Chinese and students from select other foreign countries are no longer gaining admission to the West Lafayette, IN campus: “Purdue’s alleged ban would be among the most severe manifestations of the Trump administration’s campaign against international students. Last year, the administration abruptly canceled the visas of thousands of students – many of them Chinese – and froze billions of dollars in research funding. That landscape has contributed to plunging enrollments of foreign students at US universities and boosted rival institutions overseas in what experts warn will permanently degrade the global standing of US scientific research.”
The article includes examples of other schools that seem to be or are continuing earlier Trump-imposed policies.
