As Universities Seek to Block Visa Rules, Trump Threatens Tax Status

By Anemona Hartocollis and Miriam Jordan

Harvard and M.I.T. want a court to protect foreign students taking online classes. After a hearing, President Trump said he was ordering a review of universities’ tax-exempt status.

美國對留學生實施新簽證限制，引發混亂

MIRIAM JORDAN, ZOLAN KANNO-YOUNGS, DAN LEVIN

新規要求在美留學生必須參加至少一門面授課程，否則將被剝奪簽證。白宮的措施被視為旨在迫使大學重新開放，但引發了廣泛混亂，可能導緻美國國際學生數量急劇下降。

哈佛大學和麻省理工學院週三控告川普政府，因其新政策禁止課程完全在網上授課的國際學生前來或留在美國。這起訴訟指稱移民海關執法局（ICE）發布的新政策推翻了大學在春季收到的指引，而且沒有事先通知，這是武斷和反覆無常的。同時，在美國新冠病毒確診病例超300萬例之際，川普批評目前CDC關於學校安全開學的指導意見過於嚴厲，將會考慮放寬CDC的建議。

Mr. Trump pointed out that elsewhere in the world, schools had reopened without issue. But in other countries, like Germany, children returned to classes after the virus was brought under control.

In higher education, a Trump administration move to strip international students of their visas was seen as a way to pressure universities to drop their careful approaches to managing coronavirus transmission and reopen.
