Trump administration rescinds student visa order

By The Canadian Press

To the relief of thousands of foreign students in the U-S, the Trump administration has rescinded an order that would have forced them to transfer schools or leave the country if their classes were entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision was announced as a court hearing was getting underway on a challenge to the rule by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

University leaders had suggested the new rule was part of U-S President Donald Trump’s effort to pressure schools and colleges to reopen this fall, even as COVID-19 number rise.

More to come.
