Almost 60 U.S. universities filed a court brief in support of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a case the schools brought to stop new visa rules that could bar many international students.
Stanford University and Ivy League schools including Yale and Princeton were among those that filed a so-called amicus brief Sunday. They argued that the new rules, which require in-person teaching for a student visa, are “causing significant harm and turmoil.” Currently, students on visas can have remote teaching for the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, they said.
