Northeastern University in Boston last night announced it was joining Harvard University and MIT in a lawsuit against the U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over a new rule that threatened many international students with deportation, the MSN website reports today (July 9, 2020).
The new federal policy said students whose courses no longer had an in-person element because of the COVID-19 pandemic, would lose their permission to be in the U.S. and might get deported.
The federal order means students taking only online courses would have to transfer to courses with some in-person instruction or leave the country.
Harvard President Lawrence Bacow wrote in an email yesterday:"We believe that the ICE order is bad public policy, and we believe that it is illegal."
