The Department of Homeland Security unveiled a proposed rule on September 8 that would tighten student visa standards and impose new restrictions on international students entering the U.S. The policy aims to strengthen national security by increasing oversight of academic institutions and visa holders. Under the plan, students may face more stringent documentation requirements and institutions could be required to report additional information. The proposal is part of a broader trend toward reasserting control over immigration channels under current leadership. Advocates for international education warn the rule could deter talented students and harm U.S. competitiveness. The proposal now enters the public comment period before finalization.
