Fourteen international students at Louisiana universities have had their permission to attend school in the United States revoked by the Trump administration.

Seven Southern University students, three at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, two at the University of New Orleans and two more at Tulane University have had their visas pulled, according to representatives with the schools.

The Southern students had their visas revoked in early April, school spokeswoman Janene Tate said in a statement to the Illuminator. The university was not given a reason for their visas being revoked, she said. Tate said she could not disclose the students’ names or the exact dates the visas were revoked, citing the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Marcus Jones, chief operating officer with the University of Louisiana System, confirmed the visa revocations at UL Lafayette and UNO.

Tulane spokesman Mike Strecker said two international students had their visas terminated “based on prior criminal arrests unrelated to any protest activity.”
