Santa Cruz Officials announced this week that the Trump administration described the F-1 visas issued to three international students from UC Santa Cruz without prior notice or notice.
The UCSC Chancellor, Cynthia Larive, published a message throughout the campus that describes how the federal government’s actions to finish the visas finally end the student’s authorization to remain in the United States.

“At the end of the week, we learned three students from UC Santa Cruz who finished their records,” Larive said in the statement. “The federal government has not detailed the reasons behind these endings. We have notified the three students and we are in direct contact with them to provide support.”
Larive urged the UCSC international student population to interact with the International Office of Student Services Services and Programming of the University and to review their legal rights in the case of having a meeting with the Police. Larive said that students’ well -being is the highest priority and that university staff will continue to monitor the actions of the federal government.
“We recognize that recently federal immigration actions, either locally, within the UC system, or throughout the country, they can cause fear and serious concern for many in the community of our campus,” said Larive. “We reiterate our strong support to all international students and academics. UC Santa Cruz is enriched with the contributions of the members of our international community, and we are lucky to investigate, teach and learn with and such outstanding students and academics.”
The president of the University of California, Michael V. Drake, published a message on Tuesday that indicated that he was aware of about 50 students and recent graduates throughout the UC system that were affected by the federal government’s actions.
“The Government has not coordinated with the UC leaders in their decisions or an anticipated warning for us, but has indicated in the government databases that the terminations were due to violations of the terms of people’s visa programs.” “” At this time, we do not know any federal activity for the application of the law on our campus. “
Drake echoed Larive’s message that the UC system supports its international students and teachers and that campus leaders are actively evaluating the situation.
“From our foundation, international students, academics and teachers have enriched our excellence in research, teaching, patient care and public service,” Drake said. “They are an integral part of our academic and civic life, and vital for the advances that have benefited our community, the country and the world.”
