\n Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/a> have filed suit to block a new Trump administration policy that would force foreign students taking online-only courses this fall to return home, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a directive Monday for F-1 visa-holding students to return to their home countries if they are enrolled in an online-only course load, CNN reported.<\/p>\n

In March, ICE made an exception to an existing rule that students with these visas must attend classes in-person and said the allowance would be in effect throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Now, \u201cICE\u2019s action leaves hundreds of thousands of international students with no
<\/br>
\neducational options within the United States,\u201d the Massachusetts Federal lawsuit from Wednesday alleges. \u201cJust weeks from the start of the fall semester, these students are largely unable to transfer to universities providing on-campus instruction, notwithstanding ICE\u2019s suggestion that they might do so to avoid removal from the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

And for those students who do return home taking online course will be, \u201cimpossible, impracticable, prohibitively expensive, and\/or dangerous,\u201d the court papers say.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the two prestigious universities said they carefully planned for months to offer most of their classes online \u201cin reliance on ICE\u2019s recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic compelled allowing international students to remain in the country even if their studies had been moved entirely online,\u201d the court documents say.<\/p>\n

The schools say the order app<\/a>ears to be an \u201ceffort by the federal government to force universities to reopen in-person classes \u2026 notwithstanding the universities\u2019 judgment that it is neither safe nor educationally advisable to do so,\u201d the court documents say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effect\u2014and perhaps even the goal\u2014is to create as much chaos for universities and international students as possible,\u201d the suit charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe order came down without notice\u2014its cruelty surpassed only by its recklessness. 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,\u201d Harvard University President Larry Bacow said, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The universities are asking a judge to intervene and set aside the new rule saying that it violates the Administrative Procedures Act.<\/p>\n

Big Apple schools are also scrambling amid Monday\u2019s decision, according to one New York University Professor who told The Post that students and staff alike are panicking because the school has such a high percentage of foreign students.<\/p>\n

The students, \u201chave leases on apartments, some of them are afraid if they go back to China they won\u2019t be allowed back in so they feel stuck financially and they don\u2019t know what is going to happen,\u201d the professor said noting there is additional uncertainty about what to do since everyone is wondering whether the lawsuits to block the decision will succeed.<\/p>\n

And because many of NYU\u2019s students are from Asia, when classes are beginning each day at 9 a.m. in New York it would be 10 p.m. in Japan or Korea for example, the teacher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople would be taking [online] classes at two o\u2019clock, three o\u2019clock, four o\u2019clock in the morning because of the time change,\u201d the professor explained.<\/p>\n

The professor and other staff \u201care afraid we will have no students and no jobs because such a high percentage of our students are foreign born,\u201d the teacher said.<\/p>\n

ICE \u2014 which is named as a defendant along with the Department of Homeland Security \u2014 declined to comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
