Many American colleges and universities are considering virtual or hybrid education models for the upcoming Fall semester, due to the COVID-19 precautions. Enter the Immigration Customs and Enforcement Agency (ICE), which announced Tuesday that, if schools opt to cancel in-person classes, their international students will be forced to leave the U.S. in the midst of a global pandemic. According to statistics from the 2018-2019 school year, over 1 million international students will be impacted by the policy. Students and professors alike immediately denounced the xenophobic, harmful decision and now, universities are using lawsuits and new learning models to fight against this regulation.
Earlier this week, Harvard University announced that Fall classes would be online-only, but students would still be permitted to live on-campus. Now, together with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard is suing the Trump administration over the new policy, arguing that the decision puts students at risk.
The order came down without notice its cruelty surpassed only by its recklessness, wrote Harvard President Larry Bacow in a statement obtained by CNN. It appears that it was designed purposefully to place pressure on colleges and universities to open their on-campus classrooms for in-person instruction this Fall, without regard to concerns for the health and safety of students, instructors, and others.
Other colleges and universities are demanding that ICE revoke the rule and promising to protect international students. Schools including Columbia University and New York University have pledged to work with and accommodate students who wish to stay in the U.S. Columbia also announced that they would create new Pop-Up Global Centers around the world to combat these changes.

Odd how a Harvard Department Chair was arrested back in January for taking $50k a month and a barrel of money from a Wuhan Tech University. I’ve heard a bunch about Chinese nationals that are really Peoples Army persons that are making financial donations/incursions for influence. It is more than substantial money, and I think they are getting a lot of influence as we are the Crown Jewel of the world...they are not.

Other colleges and universities are demanding that ICE revoke the rule and promising to protect international students. Protect them from what? These are poor Indians or Chinese from the backwoods of either country, these are the children of RICH ELITES who pay full boat to come here and study.
Um, sorrry, but if all classes are online they don't need a student visa to be here in America to study. They can go back home and do it there.

“arguing that the decision puts students at risk.”
how? The U. S. has some of the worst stats in the world on covid-19 case counts. Who knows? Sending them home might even make them safer.

Sorry. These students ARE NOT poor Indians or Chinese.

To: hanamizu
If the classes are exclusively on-line, why do the students need to be in the country. Cant they attend the virtual classes from the comforts of their homesin their homelands? Think of all the money theyll save.Very logical.
But theres a problem. How many of these colleges internet streams are blocked by the Great Chinese Firewall?
Ha ha!

Interesting way to send Chinese F1 holders back to Winnie the Pooh, without an international kerfuffle.
At the same time, it puts the brakes on the F1/OPT/H1B Desi infestation for a while.
I don’t see a problem here. ;-)

Most Universities charge foreign students a lot more in tuition. This is a huge money issue for Universities. Remember that Universities are “big business.” They are not educational institutions like the good old days.

“........ Cant they attend the virtual classes from the comforts of their homesin their homelands? Think of all the money theyll save...........”
That money that the Universities want is exactly what the Universities are thinking about.
