Ex-Tufts Ph.D. student exits U.S. under deportation settlement tied to pro-Palestinian op-ed
TL;DR
Rumeysa Ozturk, a former Tufts graduate student who became a high-profile figure in the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian academics, completed her Ph.D. and left the United States after a settlement that ends the bid to deport her; a judge had previously ordered release, and the parties agreed she remained in lawful status, allowing her to return to Turkey and likely wrapping up the legal challenges surrounding her case.
