MIT and Harvard file suit against new ICE regulations
It's incredibly unfair for the the administration to target international students like this.However Harvard and MIT aren't all about caring about their international students here.   They are also thinking heavily about the money they might be losing.   International students usually pay a much higher effective tuition rate.   The higher the % of international students the school takes in the more money they take in.  If these schools had to replace international students with domestic ones (even if they could) they wouldn't be able to get away with selecting only the highest paying students.I'm from Boston, we have an incredibly high number of international students, and a lot of the interest in keeping them is about getting their money.The Boston Globe estimates they are worth $3.6 billion dollars to the area... lots of money, lots of tuition, lots of apartment rentals, lots of bar & restaurant revenue.
