US university scholars and international students: are you considering working or studying elsewhere?

International students at Harvard University were ordered this week to transfer schools or lose their legal status following the Trump administration’s revocation of the university’s eligibility to enroll students from abroad.

While that order was swiftly blocked by a judge, it is one of a series of events creating uncertainty on campuses across the US. It follows the US government’s revocation of hundreds of student visas on various grounds, including minor infractions or participation in protests against the war in Gaza. (Some of those visas have been reinstated.) Academics have also felt the impact of funding cuts and subsequent hiring freezes, leading to hundreds looking to leave the US to work elsewhere.

Whether you are a student or an academic, we would like to hear how you have been affected. Are you considering leaving the US and working abroad? If you are an international student who had plans to study in the US, are you now considering studying elsewhere?
