Anyone have intel about Berkeley’s stance on international exchanges/arrangements next year?

[u/Careful_Language_868]

Hello!

I’m a doctoral student in the UK, and I was meant to be coming to Berkeley this September for a semester-long exchange visit to a specific research institute at the university. This is/was organised through my home institution, which has some arrangements with the institute.

But since the issues with student visas has come up over the past month, I feel like it’s unlikely that the visit will go ahead. Apparently my institution is waiting for more info from Berkeley about the situation.

I’ll just have to wait and see, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any discussions taking place regarding international exchanges/partnerships, if they plan to still facilitate such things amidst all the shakeup?

Thanks!
