Timeline: N/A: News report without directives or deadlines
Summary: The U.S. is projected to experience negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in over 50 years, following a net inflow of 2.8 million in 2024. This shift results from stringent immigration policies led by President Trump’s administration focusing on deporting criminal illegal immigrants. The trend poses challenges for institutions like Vanderbilt University, affecting international student diversity, tuition revenues, and global partnerships. It also opens opportunities for expanded research on migration impacts and new international collaborations.
Key Actions: Vanderbilt should enhance support for international students, adjust recruitment strategies, conduct migration-related research, assess financial aid impacts, and promote public discourse on migration’s societal effects.
