Following a surprise announcement that foreign students will not be allowed to remain in the United States if their colleges adopt all-online education for the coming semester, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have sued the federal government to stop the order.
The Harvard Crimson reports that the lawsuit seeks "a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to bar the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement from enforcing federal guidelines barring international students attending colleges and universities offering only online courses from staying in the United States."
The announcement of the new federal guidelines came a day after many universities, including Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and MIT, began to announce plans for a mostly online Fall semester. It is currently unclear how the ruling will impact schools of architecture, as many of the schools Archinect has reached out to are still developing their fall semester studio plans.
