international students from taking all their courses online, but the administration temporarily lifted that rule in March.
"ICE's abrupt policy change guts the enormous reliance interests of higher education institutions and their students — all of whom planned for the fall 2020 semester based on ICE's earlier confirmation that its March 2020 position would remain so long as the 'emergency' continued," the schools wrote.
And international students make"immense contributions" to campuses nationwide, they said, fostering diversity and enhancing schools' intellectual and athletic competitiveness. Blocking these students from attending American schools would only send them elsewhere, giving an advantage to foreign nations, the schools said.
And without international students, American schools will suffer, they said:"The loss of international students as a result of the July 6 Directive threatens the very existence of educational programs — for both American and international students — that are critical to training the employees U.S. businesses need and supporting the research that enables America to lead the world in innovation.
We need international students. They pay over double the tuition rates and they contribute to our country and economy. They are here legally and are a very low burden to our country when it comes to social programs. This is pure xenophobia - nothing less than that.
It’s also an extremely stupid business move. Does realDonaldTrump not know how much international students pay per credit? Maybe that’s why Trump college was such a failure?
They can learn from their computer in their country since it’s all online
This isn't new. You're presenting it like it is just to stir the pot, like a tabloid. Not journalism. In person classes have always been a requirement for a student visa.
And some say Trump is not a unifier.
Nope they are just worried about lost revenue
If they physically are not req'd to be here, then why have them here? Thought we were trying to social distance, Karen?
It’s real simple. Hold 1 class in person. That’s it. That’s all. It’s the law. Not Trumps law. Not DeVos. Predates them. Sh-t or get off the pot. Schools want the $$$. Earn it.
//If international students are barred from studying in the U.S. until the coronavirus pandemic is over, the companies said, many will simply never return. Companies in turn won't be able to recruit those students.// Why don't those companies want to recruit local Americans?
Once America reaches 100% infection. It will fall apart.
It's Extortion !!!
All foreign born in the medical field should strike. Good luck with that.
DebiJackson50 Losing foreign students and on-line students will bankrupt them. Why can't they just be honest about it?
All the same schools that I filling our kids heads with all this nonsense in ruining this country
It's been a law long before Trump. You don't physically attend college on a F1 Visa, the Visa is revoked, too damn bad. GFY
The Orange knows he's gonna in lose 4 months. He's so desperate, he untentionally (I hope) tries more blatant dog whistles, while NEVER addressing Covid, in his rallies. He along w/ his peeps think Joe is as bad as Hillary, lol. Nah, he getting that black vote, trump is not
Have those students take 1 class at the stadium outside spaced out. Solves problem
awe.... no more marxist revolutionaries
Trump blocking foreign scientists, technology experts and doctors from coming back in, is giving great minds to other countries and an advantage over the US. ProjectLincoln JoeBiden realDonaldTrump
Trump’s very own version of the Nazi “Brain Drain”. De-diversify, stupidify, and then, dis-establish.

If Betty and Donald can’t make a dollar on education........
He doesn't care about education because he never cared to have one.
Stop financially exploiting International Students at Los Angeles Valley College.
Nonsense, Trump is smarter than all of them put together
Fund the police. Defund public education. The SOBs have made it clear what they are teaching.
I would be more sympathetic if int'l students didn't contribute to gentrification and exploit how our education system is only accessible to the rich. Int'l students aren't refugees or asylum seekers, they're rich shallow capitalists who are obsess with proximity to whiteness.
The colleges are addicted to their money. They usually pay full tuition.
Good or Trump. I hope he succeeds.
Most of them would be safer in their home countries.

Let them go back home! We're the US that are no longer interested in migrants. Oh well, I'm a migrant myself. I'm going to emigrate... and we better all do the same! Trump no longer needs us!
Defund NPR, it’s Biden Campaign propaganda 24x7.
hahaha, just stay home
Of course they would be!
maybe we should take care of our US students before we concern ourselves about international students. Home first. Unless there’s another agenda here?

Books on line . Go slow . Give state students a discount on line . Charge internal student twice as much . It will work out .
PROPAGANDA MACHINE FAKESTREAM MEDIA GREAT INSTIGATOR FALSIFIER
Just do I am clear. Teachers are protesting that my kids can’t go to middle/high school because it is unsafe while colleges campaign for kids from other countries to come here and take online classes from their apartment.
defundcollege defundnpr
Its big $$ for the colleges
Unless those students are unlucky enough to be in Florida, in which case they should run for their lives!
Liberal indoctrination camps need defunded.
Discrimination starts from the TOP Down..unfortunately
Ha ha ha. Trump 2020
If US students aren't taking in person classes and will be at home why not the Int'l students?
Universities don’t care about American students who weren’t accepted because of foreigners and their dollars.
Push back? They are suing. They knowingly take $50,000 from American engineering students who study 5x harder than any other non-STEM students, knowing that 1 out of 2 will have their careers simply taken from them and given to a random cheaper Indian.
Lets hope they have much better luck with that than Portland did keeping Federal Thugs out of their city. You have a tyrant running rampant, rule of law means absolutely nothing to him and his pathetic acolytes.
Yea, these Universities prefer an America that exists for everyone else's benefit, rather than that of the American people.
Hey , while you are at it ...I'm sure we'd all like to know just how many lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration over the past 3 1/2 years compared to other administrations in the history of the US. Thanks.
International Students is a multi-billion dollar business.
Good! trump is a menace, hurry November! TrumpIsAnIdiot
Isn’t it funny how the same 180 schools did NOT support any legal challenge to the Trump Administration stripping women of their civil rights under TitleIX even though rape jeopardizes college women’s health more than COVID.
RT : More than 180 colleges are supporting a legal challenge to stop the Trump administration from stripping international students of their visas. The schools argue the move jeopardizes the students' health — and gives an advantage to foreign nations.
If they can take classes online, why they need a visa to come here? Doesn't it defeat the purpose? I mean 1 + 1 = 2 right?
My Alma Mater is one of them. Proud of you, USUAggies
It couldn't be that these same institutions rape these students in tuition.
Lawrence maddow This is excellent. Please cover this pushback.
