The editorial
Source: The Hindu · 16 Jul 2020U.S. universities with already limited fiscal space will now find themselves even further squeezed by the ICE regulations.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s regulations regarding student visas have thrown U.S.-based international students into turmoil. The regulation adds a new dimension to the pandemic-riddled academic year by denying entry to students enrolled in fully online programmes and requiring existing students to either switch to campuses with at least one in-person course or risk deportation. As disruptive an impact as this may have for students, there is another potentially larger impact that warrants inspection: the impact on university finances.
