Seven international graduate students in California have filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the Trump administration from enforcing guidelines that would bar them from remaining in the country if they enroll only in online courses this fall.

if they enroll at schools or programs that hold classes entirely online this fall. Those students must depart the country or transfer to an institution holding in-person classes, ICE said.

The announcement prompted outcry among higher education leaders in California and across the nation, as well as disbelief and worry among students. The seven plaintiffs in the case filed Friday are from China and Germany and are enrolled at the USC Gould School of Law, UC Irvine School of Law and a UCLA graduate program in cinema and media studies. The complaint said they will face “financial calamity,” suffer health consequences and be forced to pause or halt their education and jeopardize their career prospects if made to return to their home countries.

Some of the students had already signed leases on apartments and don’t have the means to pay for a return flight or housing in their home country, the complaint said. One would be separated from his wife. The students from China in particular would lack access to the tools they need for online learning, including Google products, and the time difference would put them at a disadvantage for participating in discussion-based classes and on-campus job interviews, the complaint said.

Hope they’re suing China... 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Legalese, I haven't been in the practice. Someone fill me in!

Don’t come at the president, come at your colleges for not allowing you to have classes like you paid for them.

International Students need to GET OUT UNTIL THE CITIZENS ARE TAKEN CARE OF!

....continued...all other courses could be online. The reason for this is to avoid 'diploma mills' where students are doing a online college but in reality they are somewhere else doing a full time job on a student visa. Be wary of what colleges want. It is all related to greed.

Just a reminder... the guy who said that these students should be deported.... stated that he would all of a sudden defend DACA and immigration... realDonaldTrump is pandering at this point and its sad.... VoteTrumpOut2020

This is not a 'new' Trump rule. The existing rule, prior to the pandemic, was foreign students could only take one course online. This rule was temporarily suspended because of Covid. Rather than revert to the old rule, they decided students had to take only one in person course.
