Abstract
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently announced that it would reverse the terminations after courts across the country determined they did not have merit. David Di Maria, vice provost of global engagement at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, explains how these moves come as the White House seeks to enhance vetting and screening of all foreign nationals. As an administrator and scholar who specializes in international higher education, Di Maria knows that inserting additional bureaucracy into current processes could make the U.S. a less attractive study destination and hamper the Trump administration’s ability to achieve its “America First” priorities related to the economy, science and technology, and national security.
