We find the proposed order by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program deeply troubling.

If this rule were to take effect it will further constrain opportunities for international students and American universities to move forward at a time when they are already challenged by the global pandemic.

Caltech is carefully considering the implication of this order for the new academic year and will develop an approach that prioritizes the well-being of all community members and the academic progress of our students.

We invite our international community to connect with the International Offices for additional support and information.
