Harvard will have ZERO new international students. https://t.co/dCOxAfyBuZ

GOOD NEWS: international students only taking online classes can now stay in the US this fall! ICE's policy was overturned! https://t.co/KXJZdlpgBe

[InterVarsity ISM @InterVarsityISM]

Even if the ICE rule is overturned, the number of new international student enrollments in the US this fall is expected to drop 63% to 98%, the latter would be the lowest since World War II. Many prayers are still needed! https://t.co/VodFe5itlp

[InterVarsity ISM @InterVarsityISM]

InterVarsity has joined with several other international student ministries in opposing the ICE rule that requires #internationalstudents to leave the US if they are only taking online classes this fall. https://t.co/LWJSbf9Mhl

[InterVarsity ISM @InterVarsityISM]

Here are new options that allow international students to pay their tuition in their home currency. This is the first that we've heard of these, and haven't tested them ourselves, so don't consider this an endorsement. https://t.co/C3Ns6sOLvQ

[InterVarsity ISM @InterVarsityISM]

President Trump signed an order limiting visas for some foreign workers, but the huge expected cuts to Optional Practical Training #OPT didn't happen. OPT was not changed, so international students can continue getting US work experience. https://t.co/UPQY7AtAZ9
