Foreign-born students and researchers could face stricter regulations if a federal proposal to tighten access to research equipment and facilities is enacted next spring. The U.S. Department of Commerce is crafting the proposal, which would limit the access foreign-born researchers would have to lab equipment ranging from laptops to nuclear reactors.
According to the Association of American Universities, about one-third of the estimated 450,000 science and engineering graduate students in the U.S. are foreign-born. The greatest scrutiny would be placed on graduate and post-doctoral students from 12 "countries of concern" who are doing research with any technology that could potentially be used for military purposes."
