The USA Drops Restrictions On Online-only Instruction For Foreign Students by Next2Bezee(m): 9:57pm On Jul 14, 2020
The Trump administration is dropping a much-criticized plan to require international college students to leave the United States unless they are enrolled in the fall term in at least one face-to-face class, according to federal court records.

The abrupt reversal, disclosed Tuesday in federal court in Boston, came a little more than a week after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued an edict that stunned U.S. higher education leaders and students worldwide.

Under the July 6 policy from ICE, international students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities for the fall semester faced a mandate to take at least one course in person. Those students, ICE said, “may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States.”

That mandate posed a major obstacle to plans for online teaching and learning that colleges are developing in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. In the spring, the federal government had given schools much more leeway to teach international students online.

Now, according to electronic notes taken at a U.S. District Court hearing, the July 6 policy will be rescinded.
