Technically New York isn't in that list.

Not suing? I know, but I'm just saying that was their response to the ban and I think a few other schools have done the same. I'm glad these other schools/states? are suing though

I read it as '18 attorneys general - 17 states and DC - as well as Harvard and MIT', but that's probably wrong.

You have to admit the colleges are only doing it because Int Students notoriously pay full price. It’s about the $$$$

^^ THIS. Nobody ever wants to admit this. A lot of domestic students get ****ed over because of this. They'll easily take the international student who can pay full price versus the students who need aid that are from here. Don't know how it is for all majors but in Architecture school, they are always favored and it's really not fair in a lot of circumstances. It's not a fair playing field.

Trump administration drops restrictions on online-only instruction for foreign students

The Trump administration has rescinded its policy that would bar international students who only take online courses from staying in the US, a federal judge announced Tuesday in Boston.

The decision comes a little over a week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that students at schools offering only online courses due to the coronavirus pandemic would need to either leave the US or transfer schools.

According to another source, the White House is now focused on having the rule apply only to new students, rather than students already in the US. The White House declined to comment on an ongoing policy process.

For now, though, the move to drop the policy is a reprieve for more than 1 million international students in the US. In the last week, students had expressed frustration and concern over their next steps, as universities and colleges announced decisions to move all courses online.
