The federal government has revoked the visas of four international students at UNLV.
UNLV Executive Vice President and Provost Chris Heavey confirmed the visa revocation of four students in an email sent to the campus community.
The email did not identify the students or explain why the visas were revoked.
However, the university says it’s offering support and guidance to the four students so they can complete the spring semester.
The visa revocations are part of a broader trend affecting colleges and universities nationwide.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last month that the federal government has revoked more than 300 student visas, targeting foreign-born students who participate in political activism.
Pro-Palestinian protests held last year on the UNLV campus drew a few hundred attendees. It is unclear whether the four students affected participated in those demonstrations.
