NEWS BRIEFS: Updates on Trump Administration Incursion on Higher Ed: Reducing Overhead Rate and Revoking Student Visas

Overrate update here, courtesy of Higher Ed Dive: “So far, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Defense have all sought to limit reimbursement for colleges’ indirect research costs to 15%. These moves have drawn lawsuits from universities and higher education groups arguing that capping this funding — which covers expenses like laboratory maintenance and administrative support — would harm the nation’s research and deal a serious financial blow to colleges.”

Student Visa revocations here, courtesy NBC News “The administration of President Donald Trump has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and breaking the law, including a small minority for “support for terrorism,” a State Department official said Monday.”
