哈佛大学和麻省理工学院起诉美国政府反对留学生签证新规

美国哈佛大学和麻省理工学院7月8日提起联邦诉讼，以阻止美国政府实施针对留学生的签证新规。为施压美国大学重启校园，美国国土安全部下属移民和海关执法局7月6日发布通告说，2020年秋季学期的留学生如果仅上网课，将无法取得赴美签证或维持当前签证。

Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday sued the Trump administration over its guidance not allowing foreign students to take online-only courses in the US this fall semester.

哈佛大学和麻省理工学院本周三 Harvard announced earlier this week that all course instruction will be delivered online, including for students living on campus. In a statement provided to CNN, the university said the guidance stands to affect approximately 5,000 international students.

哈佛大学本周早些时候宣布，所有课程都将在网上授课，包括对住校学生的授课。哈佛大学在提供给美国有线电视资讯网的一份声明中表示，美国政府的这一政策将影响该校大约5000名国际学生。

"The order came down without notice—its cruelty surpassed only by its recklessness. It appears that it was designed purposefully to place pressure on colleges and universities to open their on-campus classrooms for in-person instruction this fall, without regard to concerns for the health and safety of students, instructors, and others," Harvard University President Larry Bacow said.
