Lots of people are asking whether schools could adopt some form of hybrid system where they only hold a tiny fraction of classes on campus, and the answer is, it depends. Here's what ICE says on "hybrid" models, with some in-person classes and some online.
Under the rule ICE announced today, schools like Harvard wouldn't lose tuition from students forced to leave the United States. Students could "attend" classes virtually—in their home country.
But if the choice is stay at Harvard or leave the US... many will choose to transfer.
Some important context for this. ICE actually runs a major portion of the student visa program, what's called the "Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)." So oddly enough it's ICE, not US Citizenship and Immigration Services, that sets rules for students.
This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://t.co/8DteVzexLB
Just seeing the name of a high school you know makes it feel like your own. Ive meet a lot of great kids from Saugus at DTASC and the idea that any of them ive met in passing could've been on campus this morning is horrifying honestly #saugusshooting
School boards/administrators need to tighten and review campus security- sure yes this is about gun control but its time for individual institutions to stop waiting on our petty ridiculous government to fix this for them and start acting themselves. #saugusshooting
There won't be a video tomorrow. My heart is still too heavy. I feel like I need to remind you that we can hold truth & inspire change without grabbing onto hate. Honor your blessings, don't abuse them. Celebrating pain will only bring it to your door. love you guys, see you soon
@ememrc The Woolsey fire also raged through Oak Park and Thousand Oaks, destroying homes in the area where i’ve grown up and forcing people who experienced a mass shooting THE NIGHT BEFORE to evacuate their homes... It’s not just affecting celebrities, thanks.
