Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Coronavirus: Anger over US decision on foreign students’ visas
There are about one million foreign students studying at colleges and universities in the US, which represent approximately 5.5% of all college student community. Nearly half of those foreign students come from China and a quarter from India. Now, as a new academic year approaches, US colleges and universities are announcing how they’re going to run their classes and administrate the students. Some of them have decided to go only or mainly online to ensure continuity in learning even under the coronavirus pandemic, and others have said course instructions would be only delivered online. At the same time, the US government announced that it will not issue or extend student visas to those who only take courses online. If that happens, foreign students whose courses are changed to online-only have no choice but to change the courses or college, or leave the country and continue the courses. Also, those who are newly enrolled in online-only courses will have to study in their own country or somewhere else.
The academic community is deeply concerned that the new guidance will undermine students’ learning opportunities and campuses diversity, either on-campus or online,
So, what are those foreign students going to do?
Reading the article and think about the intention of the US administration by kicking out foreign students.
