PAGE 4 - THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2020 WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM THE WESTFIELD NEWS COMMENT New ICE policy rattles Mass. higher ed landscape International students at risk under new measure By CHRIS LISINSKI State House News Service BOSTON (SHNS) — A new federal immigration policy ordering international students to leave the country if their col- leges or universities offer online-only classes this fall has prompted an outcry from educators and campus officials in Massachusetts, who slammed the move as "cruel" and likely to cause massive economic damage. Many higher education institutions, including Harvard University and UMass Amherst, are planning to embrace remote learning for almost all courses next semester as a precaution against lingering COVID-19 risks. However, thousands of international students, many of whom are already enrolled and several years into progress toward a degree, would be barred from legally participating under a rule change the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announced Monday. The policy effectively reverses course from the spring and summer, when ICE temporarily suspended pre-pandemic rules banning international students from residing in the U.S. and tak- ing online-only courses. "No public good is served by these threats to deprive thou- sands of students at the University of Massachusetts from con- tinuing to make valuable and necessary contributions to the economy of the Commonwealth and the prosperity of the nation," UMass President Marty Meehan wrote in a statement Tuesday. "Beyond the human toll this guidance takes on our Mail-in voting law slams into students, the impact on the economic interests of the Commonwealth and nation will be negative and potentially irre- versible." The announcement came as many colleges and universities are finalizing plans for the fall semester, which begins in less than dispute over postage costs two months. Meehan described it as "the worst possible time" for a sudden shift in policy. Many campuses will either need to offer at least one in-person emergency related to the coronavirus and are to be spent 'to class for each program this fall or bid farewell to their interna- Galvin: ‘Legislature has prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, domestically tional students, who often play important roles both for the fabric or internationally, for the 2020 Federal election cycle.'" of a student body and as sources of tuition to balance university According to the letter, allowable uses include printing addi- budgets. not sent the money’ tional ballots and envelopes, statewide or local database International students within the United States "are not permit- By CHRIS VAN BUSKIRK upgrades to allow for online absentee or mail ballot requests, ted to take a full course of study through online classes," an ICE State House News Service and additional mailing and postage costs. press release outlining the policy said.
