The DP sat down with Jameson for an exclusive interview to discuss his tenure to date, recent federal actions, and Penn's approach to a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

A University spokesperson told The Daily Pennsylvanian that the five additional revocations are inclusive of both current students and recent graduates. 

The April 11 announcement came five days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the U.S. State Department would immediately revoke visas issued to all South Sudanese passport holders.

The April 9 presidential memo directed federal agency leaders to “immediately suspend any active security clearance held by Taylor” and accused him of “possibly violating the Espionage Act.”

The Philadelphia demonstration was part of the second “Nationwide Day of Action” — organized by Labor for Higher Education and Higher Education Labor United.

The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke with Penn faculty members to discuss how these actions have impacted international community members and the University. 

Ten professors took turns reciting passages from documents such as the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers at the April 7 event.

The visa revocations at Penn come as 1968 Wharton graduate and President Donald Trump’s second administration cracks down on international students across the country.

Ten weeks into Trump’s second presidential term, The Daily Pennsylvanian compiled the impacts of federal policy changes on Penn and examined how the University has responded.

The March 27 action is the latest in a series of moves taken by President and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump against law firms that have previously launched investigations into his actions.

As federal actions continue to target higher education institutions — including Penn — local politicians urged the University to take legal action to protect its community members.

Jameson wrote in the March 25 email that researchers across seven of Penn’s schools were notified that their federally contracted research was halted. 

As Penn continues to roll back its DEI programs and initiatives, recent changes have included altering faculty positions associated with inclusion and diversity programs across the University.

The March 11 letter, titled ‘Not in Our Name,’ has been signed by nearly 3000 signatories — including 34 from Penn — at the time of publication.

Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication Sarah Banet-Weiser notified the lecturers of the decision in an email sent on March 19.

The March 20 federal action will attempt to close the Department of Education, which manages federal student loans through its Office of Federal Student Aid and funds Penn through grants.

The new website intends to centralize updates on ongoing federal actions impacting higher education, research funding, immigration, and other essential areas of Penn’s operations.
