Details: What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the August 06th 2025 article published by the Guardian entitled “U.S International Students: How Are You Feeling About the Upcoming Semester?” [2] the extent of your knowledge as to whether your international student office and/or personnel coordinating programs designed for international students (i) encouraged international students (whether current and/or former) to contact the Guardian and share with them their personal college/university experiences as well as the preparation they are doing for the upcoming 2025 – 2026 fall semester; (ii) contacted the Guardian to inform them of the support they are providing to their international students in the event they experience xenophobia, sexism, racism and/or other forms of discrimination; [3] the May 2025 findings of the National Foundation for American Policy which concluded that (i) U.S higher education institutions enrolled over 880,000 international students in 2023 – 2024, a 36% increase since 2010 – 2011; (ii) the share of undergraduate students who are first generation immigrants – students who were not U.S citizens at birth and are either international students of foreign-born U.S residents – rose from 9% in 2010 to 11% in 2022; (iii) international students have a substantial positive impact on U.S higher education; (iv) international students do not crowd out U.S students and may even increase their numbers; (v) the higher tuition paid by international students can enable public universities to increase their offerings; (vi) for each additional international undergraduate student that public universities enroll, their in-state freshman enrollment increases by two, on average; (vii) each additional 10 Bachelor’s Degrees awarded to international students at a college or university is associated with 15 more Bachelor’s Degrees in STEM majors being awarded to domestic students; (viii) international students who remain in the country make valuable contribution to the U.S economy, including spurring entrepreneurship and innovation (as measured by patents and publications); [4] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) (and a former American international student) who has on (or around) August 12th 2025 explicitly told representatives of Figshare and the Internet Archive/Internet Archive Scholar that he doesn’t want his name, his image, his likeness and his written content to be featured or to be associated with them.
