SPOKANE, Wash. — The federal government has revoked the international student visas for two students at Gonzaga.
The University sent out a letter Monday from University President Thayne McCulloh and Associate Provost for Global Engagement Christina Isabelli.
It said their International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) team discovered the news while reviewing the federal database where the records were kept and noticed the records for the two students had been terminated and their visa status revoked.
The University says it cannot discuss specific cases, but it is working closely with the affected students.
“Our international students and scholars are an integral part of our university community. They bring wisdom and diverse perspectives that enrich our classrooms, and they infuse our community with their energy, spirit, and vibrant cultures,” said the letter. “They have chosen Gonzaga as their home while they pursue their studies — and working to support them is what is meant when we speak of striving to maintain a community in which all students feel welcomed, safe, and supported.”
President McCulloh said, as a member of the President’s Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, Gonzaga supports legal actions against policies that revoke visas and deport noncitizen students.
Care and support services are available on campus and online and legal support services for students, faculty, and staff.
