SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah High School Activities Association was front and center at the Utah State Capitol on Wednesday.They spoke during a hearing in the Rules Review and General Oversight Committee about a foreign student eligibility rule that was created earlier this year.The rule doesn't allow students on F-1 visas to participate in varsity sports.If they do, a school has to forfeit their eligibility for postseason play, such as a state tournament.
' My goodness, what does that mean? The visa is a piece of paper — the student is the one being discriminated against,' said David Jordan, a partner with Foley & Lardner LLP.The issue sparked plenty of opinions from lawmakers.'I just want to recognize there is a disparity, and the disparity with the foreign exchange students and the F-1 students that are coming in, and it is a bigger issue,' Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Mountain Green.
