美撤销留学生签证新政  

Foreign student visa rule dropped
In a stunning reversal of policy
the Trump administration on Tuesday abandoned a plan that would have forced out tens of thousands of foreign students following widespread condemnation of the move and pressure from colleges and major businesses.
US officials announced last week that international students at schools that had moved to online-only classes due to the coronavirus pandemic would have to leave the country if they were unable to transfer to a college with at least some in-person instruction.
美国官员上周宣布，如果留学生就读的学校因新冠病毒疫情影响改为只上网课，而他们又无法转到至少提供部分面授课程的院校就读，则必须离开美国。
The policy prompted a string of lawsuits brought by universities and a coalition of 17 states.
Harvard University
with overseas students prising more than 20% of the student body
and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
whose foreign undergraduates make up nearly 30% of enrollment
were the first to file suit.
Dozens of big panies and colleges and universities filed "friend-of-the-court" briefs opposing the rule.
In a highly anticipated court hearing on Tuesday in the case brought by Harvard
US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts said the US government and the o elite universities that sued had e to a settlement that would roll back the new rules.
