every university should offer students whose visas are arbitrarily rescinded pathways to complete their degrees via remote learning.

@interfluidity 100% and should be relatively easy to set up as so many courses adapted in this way for lockdowns.

@interfluidity There are limits to how many hours international students can complete online/remotely, so any path to completing a degree this way probably has to be done quietly until/unless requirements change(I don't recall who sets that requirement and it may depend on the state DoE or the uni's accreditor. I just know it applies to my uni in NY and is not a policy the uni itself can change)

@interfluidity you're talking about universities who have just complied with a Nazi regime in a Nazi country, the degrees aren't going to be worth anything

@bigtuffal not all universities have complied. it’d be an option for students. if they agree with you and no longer want the degree from the US institution, they can of course go elsewhere.

@interfluidity hypothetically i agree that would be cool but i can't find an example of a university that hasn't folded
