US has asked foreign students to leave or shift to another college, if classes go completely online in coming months. This has been announced by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through a new set of guidelines.
The American Council on Education, which represents university presidents, said the guidelines are “horrifying“ and will result in confusion as schools look for ways to reopen safely.
Colleges across the U.S. were already expecting sharp decreases in international enrollment this fall, but losing all international students could be disastrous for some. Many depend on tuition revenue from international students, who typically pay higher tuition rates. Last year, universities in the U.S. attracted nearly 1.1 million students from abroad.
