<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">With no advance notice, we learned recently that the federal government terminated the eligibility of six student visas for members of the UC Riverside community, two for current students and
four for recent graduates. We have not received detailed reasons for these terminations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">This is not a situation unique to UCR and is occurring at higher education institutions throughout the United States and at other UC campuses. Our International Students and Scholars team is
working with our impacted students, and we are working as a system to determine the path forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">UCR remains committed to international students and will continue to support them in every way possible, consistent with the law. This includes protecting their privacy. UCR does not release
confidential student information, including immigration status, unless required by law. Furthermore, campus police officers will not contact, detain, question, or arrest an individual solely on the basis of suspected undocumented immigration status or to discover
their immigration status. UC police also will not undertake joint efforts with federal immigration enforcement authorities to investigate, detain, or arrest individuals for violation of federal immigration law.
