Universities attempting to circumvent new rules regarding international students

I have seen several reports about how various universities are trying to come up with bogus ways to protect their international students from having to obey recently enacted regulations regarding online instruction and immigration status.
Make no mistake about it: the only reason these universities are concerned is because international students pay out-of-state tuition and losing that revenue will add to the pain universities are already experiencing because of virus concerns.
Here are just two examples of bogus plans:

And an excerpt from the new president of the U of Maryland's largest campus:
I stand in solidarity with our international students, who are highly valued for everything they contribute to our diverse and vibrant community. We will continue to look out for all Terrapin students from every country of origin, and we are working with our representatives in Congress to protect immigration status of our international undergraduate and graduate students. We are urgently considering alternative options, as this newly announced rule has caused great concern. I am asking Provost Mary Ann Rankin to direct colleges and schools to seek academic solutions that ensure more in-person instruction, including the use of independent research, discipline seminar courses and other courses that offer in-person instruction to our international students.
This university president obviously sees himself as a lobbyist and wannabe politician.
Is it any wonder students don't respect the law and cheating is widespread?!?!

Save for Chinese students, Trump should stop this shite. But absolutely expel Chinese students from the country, as bad as I will feel for them.

Quite the conundrum universities are in.
Play stupid games...win stupid prizes.

I don’t see how the schools would be able to play both ends by going heavily online yet managing in-person instruction for exchange students in order to keep the high fees coming in.
Sounds like Trump pushing hard on this may actually force schools to have in-person classes for everyone.

This sounds like preferential treatment. Would that be legal?

So, they can have in-person instruction to keep the international dollars flowing? Then they should be able to have in-person instruction because, you know, that's what ALL the students paid for.

They're soulless bug people, spies, and cheaters. My GF was a TA a few years ago and the university had specific training for them to watch the chinese students because they worked together to cheat on EVERYTHING. They also steal all sorts of research from here and flip professors and other people into spying and working for the ccp.
I also did business in china and with the chinese in my old job. If every chinese citizen died today, I wouldn't feel bad for a single one of of them. Don't ever feel bad for those monsters.

If the foreign students are paying for that, then it is probably legal. Make it a $5-10K fee per semester on top of everything else.
Posted on 7/8/20 at 7:11 pm to auggie
Of course not since they probably won't be available to all students.

Schools are trying to figure out how to keep their international athletes from being barred from coming over and some are working on making at least one course per semester in-class in order to prevent them from being deported. The new rule is really aimed at kicking the Chinese military who are disguised as military from continuing to infiltrate our government research programs.

Not to be glib, but that separate and not equal treatment will be difficult to sustain.
Native students will feel cheated.

How is it bogus? Their students will transfer if they have to leave the us.

I still have yet to hear anyone explain what we gain from this DHS regulation

What do we lose?
I applaud the administration making the universities admit they’re playing around with the virus stuff.

Kill them all with fire...

I lived there, dude. They’re the CCP’s biggest victims. We should absolutely be rooting for them to overthrow their government.
OK, you’re completely fricked in the head. You shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near power, including management or a gun.

All international students? Even the Brits and Australians? What do you think foreign countries will do to our students over there, you fricking illiterate retard? As a person who studied in China, I’m fine with them shipping our citizens back as retaliation for us shipping theirs back, but you want a war crime that would get thousands of Americans killed. Another person completely fricked in the head.

We lose tens of thousands of spenders. As a group, students are large net spenders, who take very few jobs, and who commit very few crimes. When we are talking about foreign students in particular, we are talking about huge sums of foreign money flowing into the US economy that we are now willingly giving up at a time when our economy is already struggling. And not just tuition; rent, food, entertainment, etc., all of it representing dollars flowing from foreign economies into the US. A foreign student getting an education at a US university is a US export. I thought we were in favor or boosting US exports around here.
So with that cost in the backdrop, I’ll ask again; what do we gain from this regulation?
