Also, 2020 Penn graduate Luigi Mangione was indicted in federal court.
Friday, April 18
Good morning, Penn.
Happy Friday, Penn! Congratulations on getting through another week. Only two more to go!
2020 Engineering graduate Luigi Mangione was indicted in federal court on charges related to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke to Penn students about proposed hikes to SEPTA fares.
But first, a University spokesperson confirmed that eight total Penn affiliates, including multiple current students, have had their visas revoked and immigration statuses terminated.
The federal government has revoked the visas and terminated immigration statuses of eight Penn affiliates, according to a University spokesperson.
International Student and Scholar Services had previously announced that changes to “at least three” students’ immigration statuses were initiated by the Department of State. Yesterday, a University spokesperson told the DP that they were aware of five additional revocations, bringing the total to eight.
The revocations come as 1968 Wharton graduate and President Donald Trump's administration has revoked over 1,500 student visas nation-wide. Faculty members have previously criticized the University’s lack of communication and have urged Penn's leadership to take a stronger stance on the issue.
SENIOR COLUMNIST ANANYA SHAH argues that investing in student-athletes is essential to building campus spirit and staying competitive in Division I sports.

Government funding cuts have been on the forefront of everyone’s minds, and they’ve burst through that thick Penn bubble. The impacts have been felt among many, including Devlab, a wide-ranging lab that spans across the social sciences, and the Earth and Environmental Science department. As Elon Musk’s pet project the Department of Government Efficiency tears through funding, the status of important environmental research is increasingly precarious during our dire climate crisis.
