Ohio State says not all international students remain in US as revoked visas climb to 12
Panic on college campuses as Trump cancels international student visas
The Trump administration has cited reasons like roommate disputes and traffic tickets for canceling hundreds of international student visas.
The number of Ohio State University international students with revoked student visas is now up to 12, the university confirmed April 15.
Ohio State spokesperson Ben Johnson said the not all of the affected students are currently in the U.S., though their travels aren’t necessarily related to deportation or self-deportation.
“We don’t believe any have been deported,” Johnson said.
The Dispatch first reported April 4 that the Trump administration had revoked five students’ visas. The number has increased three times since then.
Ohio State President Ted Carter said in a recent campuswide email that the university has been in contact with the affected students. Multiple university offices, including Student Legal Services, are coordinating to assist each of the students, he said.
Carter added that university officials were “not formally notified of these actions by the government, nor have we received any information about why the students’ visas were revoked.”
At least 28 international students at Ohio colleges and universities have had their visas revoked since late March, according to Inside Higher Ed.
The Trump administration has revoked hundreds international student visas nationwide in the last several weeks. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in March that there is no right to a student visa, describing them as a privilege that can be revoked, especially if the students break laws of any kind. Rubio said these visas are being revoked “every day.”

Ryan Day will have some very familiar competition in the Big 10 soon.
The son of the Ohio State football coach, R.J. Day, announced his commitment to Northwestern for the Class of 2027 on Sunday.
Northwestern plays in the same conference as Ohio State and the schools will face each other.
R.J. Day, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound quarterback from — not surprisingly — Columbus, Ohio, has started for three years at St. Francis DeSales HS as he heads towards his senior season.
According to reports, the younger Day had other offers from Purdue, Syracuse, Cincinnati and South Florida, as well as others.
Northwestern has eight quarterbacks on head coach David Braun’s roster.
And the offensive coordinator for the Wildcats is Chip Kelly, who served in the same role for Ryan Day at Ohio State when the Buckeyes won the title in 2024.
Kelly, the former head coach at UCLA and Oregon, was also the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire when Ryan Day was the team captain from 1998-2001.
Most recently, Kelly was the OC with the Las Vegas Raiders before he took the job with Northwestern.
“It’s really surreal when you think about the relationships that we’ve had with those two as a family over the years,” R.J. Day told ESPN earlier this month. “Coach Kelly coached my dad in college, so that adds another layer to it.”
Cincinnati Reds legend and well-known gambler Pete Rose was possibly more than just curious about Ohio State football’s 2012 season when he texted Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer.
Appearing on “The Triple Option” show with Alabama running back Mark Ingram May 6, Meyer told a story about his relationship with Rose.
After OSU hired Meyer, the Reds asked him to throw out the first pitch at a game. Meyer threw to his son, Nathan, and walked into the dugout, where Rose, MLB’s all-time hit leader, was waiting to greet him.
“I couldn’t get enough talking about ‘Big Red Machine,’ and he wanted to talk college football,” Meyer said on the podcast, explaining how the two spoke for hours and exchanged numbers.
Meyer said that during his first season, Rose texted him early on. He wanted information about the team, like news on Braxton Miller’s shoulder injury.
“I told that to someone, and they said, ‘You’re an idiot. Do you know he’s trying to get information from you for gambling, and you could get in trouble?’ ” Meyer said.

Though Meyer asserted that he never disclosed much, he started to steer the conversations clear of college football after he realized Rose potentially wanted information for gambling.
The two had another conversation in Las Vegas, where Rose told Meyer he gambled daily after retiring.
Rose was banned from baseball for betting on the sport, something he admitted to in his 2004 autobiography. Rose was reinstated in 2025 and so is considered eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Still baseball’s most prolific hitter (4,256 hits), Rose died in 2024.
GIRARD, Ohio (WKBN) – Over 100 athletes came together for the 5th Annual Trumbull County Special Olympics Invitational Saturday morning in Girard.
These athletes represent five different schools across Trumbull County to compete and spread the message of inclusion, achievement, and sportsmanship.
