BREAKING: Harvard, MIT seek temporary halt to Trump administration rule on international students
FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Trump hosts coronavirus response event on reopening schools at the White House in Washington - Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have asked a federal court to temporarily block a Trump administration rule that would bar foreign students from remaining in the United States if their universities are not holding in-person classes this fall, Harvard's president said on Wednesday.
The move by Harvard and MIT, two of the most elite U.S. universities, comes two days after the Trump administration issued an order that could force tens of thousands of foreign students to leave the country if their schools hold all classes online. Harvard had announced it would hold all classes online in the coming fall term.
It also marked an unexpected reversal of exceptions to the rules limiting online learning for foreign students when colleges and universities in March rushed to shutter campuses and move to virtual classes as the pandemic forced lockdowns.
