In the absence of the disruption to existing educational plans caused by the COVID-19 health emergency, why would foreign students (or any students) want to pay

In the absence of the disruption to existing educational plans caused by the COVID-19 health emergency, why would foreign students (or any students) want to pay the regular tuition for 100% online instruction, and why would that require them to be physically in the US (i.e. to have a visa)? And why would a educational institution want to have the responsibility for keeping track of the physical location of students taking a 100% online instruction?

> In the absence of the disruption to existing educational plans caused by the COVID-19 health emergency But there is disruption caused due to the health emergency. > why would foreign students (or any students) want to pay the regular tuition for 100% online instruction They wouldn't and embassies are closed, so no new students are coming to attend the online courses. The students we are talking about are already in the US. The choice they have is drop out or continue with online courses. Whether they should pay 100% tuition or not is a separate argument. > and why would that require them to be physically in the US (i.e. to have a visa) They are already in the US. Would the US government be willing to cancel their home leases, car loans or leases, so on and so forth? If not I don't see any reason to kick them out. Educational programs are typically between 2-6 years. These people have their life in the US right now. I don't see any reason to kick them out. > And why would a educational institution want to have the responsibility for keeping track of the physical location of students taking a 100% online instruction? They don't have to is what my previous comment you replied to is implying.
