IWU physics professor says federal rejection of student visas and STEM scholarships is unwise

An Illinois Wesleyan University physics professor says the Trump administration's effort to choke off the supply of international students at U.S. universities is unwise. The administration is taking a hard line on visa approvals for international students,
