The United States will begin to “aggressively revoke” the visas of Chinese students, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday.

The visa revocations will target Chinese students “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” Rubio wrote in a statement. Some of U.S. President Donald Trump’s officials have expressed concerns that Chinese students are a threat to national security.

The University System of Maryland is carefully monitoring the department’s decision and its impact on campuses.

At the end of Charles “Lefty” Driesell’s life — when he was bedridden and sometimes unable to pick up his phone — his children, Chuck and Pam, would go through their father’s missed calls. They’d listen to the voicemails and tell Driesell who had reached out. Sometimes, he would request to speak with specific people.

Buzz Williams was one of them.

“He thought the world of Buzz,” Chuck Driesell told The Diamondback.

Lefty Driesell coached Maryland men’s basketball from 1969 to 1986, leading the Terps to eight NCAA tournament appearances.
