Gee, Trump might lose all of the votes from he got from academics. All five of them.
If American universities can collect full fees for online-only classes from US citizens, why shouldn’t foreign students have the same deal? A Harvard on-line class from a computer sitting in China is not much different from the same class sitting in Seattle (just fewer communistic in China).
Oh, the classes themselves aren’t why the foreigners are paying the big bucks...
The money quote:
“...if classes go online, foreign students will be denied visas comes as a devastating blow..”
If classes are online, you don’t need a visa.
Duh.
I doubt this was Trump, but rather the agency in charge.
And it doesn’t appear to be directed at Chinese, but rather all foreign students.
There’s an agency that overseas the foreign students. And they ruled that they couldn’t stay in the USA to take online classes. They have to take the classes in person to stay in the country.
Fewer spies. Democrats want more.
Well, if the communist party elite need to educate their children it seems that Harvard would be a good ideological fit.
My son told me about two weeks ago that he knew a guy from China that was going to Rutgers. All the classes this fall are to be online. The Chinese guy decided to go back to China. He figured that if everything was online, he was better off go back home and be with his family.
