Trump administration rescinds order blocking foreign students studying online from staying in US

Foreign students can remain in the United States to continue their online courses following a move by the Trump administration to rescind a policy that would have stripped their visas.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement was met with criticism after the administration decided that students taking online-only courses don’t need to be physically in the U.S. to continue their education. The administration was also met with a number of lawsuits over the matter, including one brought by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and agreed to rescind the order on Tuesday.
