大家可以分享一下自己的学校都是怎么应对的吗

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it plans to end an emergency waiver put in place earlier this year that responded to the COVID-19 by allowing international students to maintain their visa status while taking only online courses, which were often the only option as colleges across the country moved to remote instruction due to the pandemic.

Taking away that flexibility is cruel and completely oblivious to the reality of the pandemic in this country, which, unlike the outbreaks that many of our allies have tamped down, continues to surge. And at a time when America’s global leadership is under severe strain, during a crisis demanding a spirit of international unity and cooperation, this proposal isn’t just cruel, it’s counterproductive.

The University of Washington will work with our state’s congressional delegation, other key federal officials and higher education associations to try and change this proposal so that it does not harm international students here or across the country. But we also must prepare for the eventuality that this action will stand and plan for how the UW can assist our international students.

The proposed changes would allow international students to stay in the United States if they are taking at least one in-person course and the UW is planning to offer in-person courses this fall. However, this offers little comfort to those students at higher risk for coronavirus who are seeking to take only remote courses. This federal rule change would also mean that if the virus resurges in Washington and we have to return to remote-only instruction, or if case counts aren’t reduced enough to let us go to Phase 3 in this region in time for autumn quarter, then international students could have their lives upended for no reason.

Because the proposal is so new, we continue to analyze its potential effects as well as what options the UW can provide to help international students continue their education uninterrupted. International Student Services is working on answers to your questions and will continue to communicate with and provide updates directly to international students as they are available.

The University of Washington stands with our international students and scholars, and against this and other recent immigration-related actions that are pointless, heartless and a betrayal of the nation’s values

就算是有in-person课程学校也会面临一个问题，如果因为疫情爆发，学校不得不停线下课（比如stay-at-home  ...

上课上到一半忽然要离开美国,然而都不一定有机票,回国的话除非是一线城市,不然还要隔离2个14天,大概28天,国内又有时差又有网络墙,我完全不知道到时候该怎么上课了. 之后万一一切结束了想要回美国都不知道能不能顺利入境.我更更更不想和男朋友异国恋.
反正这个法案对我个人影响真的太大了,希望完全否决掉.

要是有法官block掉这个法案那当然是最好的，目前来说还是刚刚起诉，还不能肯定地说无法实施。

我看W大文章这个意思是可以先injunction直到官司出结果
”周一我们介绍ICE的新规定时，就指出：会有人“打官司”，打官司会申请 Injunction，也就是阻止新规则的施行，等到打完官司，如果输了，才会施行。
此次，哈佛和MIT也申请了Injunction。由于影响范围大，而且疫情特殊，相信有很高概率会被批准。“

康奈尔今天宣布加入MIT和哈佛一起起诉。希望有更多的学校加入，这样被临时block的概率肯定大一些。
