International Grad Students Face post-9/11 Immigration Problems

The New York Times had an article on the problems that international grad students here at Berkeley are facing after 9/11. Among them are visa problems, delays, and a fear of not being allowed back into the US if they left. This has not only affected students from Islamic countries, but also China, India, South Korea, and Israel. It could also spell trouble for the science and engineering programs, as 34 percent of doctorates in those fields were awarded to international students in the last 5 years.Email This Post!
