Harvard says foreign freshmen can't come to campus this fall
- gowld 6y agoLink is bogus. Here's one that works: https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/07/21/harvard-wont-allow-first-year-international-students-on-campus-this-fall/ https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/07/21/harvard-wont-allow-f... >First-year international students won’t be allowed on Harvard University’s campus this fall, the institution said Tuesday, citing federal visa restrictions on new scholars who will take their classes entirely online. >The announcement comes a week after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy that would have expelled international students studying virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic was rescinded. > While the policy shift allows current international students to remain in the United States while completing their courses online, it doesn’t apply to newly admitted international scholars who require F-1 sponsorship Which is strange because Harvard is NOT completely online for first-year, only partially online.
