Coalition Sues Trump over Foreign Student Visa Policy
The coalition says the rule would limit F visas to four years and could disrupt studies, reduce talent and cost the public billions, according to the complaint.
- A coalition of education groups and the AFT sued the Trump administration, seeking to block a Department rule in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts taking effect Sept. 15.
- The regulation eliminates the "duration of status" policy, capping student and exchange visitor visas at four years and journalist visas at 240 days.
- Plaintiffs, including the AFT and NAFSA: Association of International Educators, argue the rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act as arbitrary and capricious without adequate procedural notice.
- AFT President Randi Weingarten called the policy an "assault on knowledge," while Miriam Feldblum, CEO of the Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, stated the limits interfere with student programs.
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended the rule, alleging some individuals "abuse our immigration system by perpetually enrolling in courses to avoid having to leave the U.S." while the coalition argues the changes will discourage foreign students.
