студенческая жизнь во время коронавируса

Цитаты из статьи NYT о планах Гарварда на следующий учебный год. (https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/07/06/us/ap-us-virus-outbreak-harvard-plans.html)

 

Harvard University's freshman class will be invited to live on campus this fall, while most other undergraduates will be required to learn remotely from home.

All classes will be taught online, however, regardless of where students live. Students living on campus would live in dorm rooms but continue taking their classes remotely.

If the same capacity limits are in place for the spring term, freshmen would likely return home and seniors would be invited to finish their final term on campus.

Along with the capacity limits, Harvard says it will require all students on campus to undergo regular virus testing. All students will be tested upon arrival on campus, officials said, and then once every three days. Any students who test positive will be placed in isolation. The university says it has space to isolate 250 students at a time.

And they still charge full tuition.

People should really consider taking a year off...

Бессмыслица какая-то.

Я даже не задаюсь вопросом о смысле, меня просто интересует, как будет учиться мой внук. Хотя он студент Stony Brooks на Лонг Айленде. Поскольку его мейджор математика, то он спокойно мог бы заниматься дома онлайн, ему не нужны лаборатории, как химику или физику. Учебники есть, проконсультироваться с профессором можно и письменно...

MIT и Гарвард подали иск к правительству за преследование иностранных студентов.

Письмо президента MIT:

“On Monday, in a surprising development, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that it will not permit international students on F-1 visas to take a full online course load this fall while studying in the United States. As I wrote yesterday, this ruling has potentially serious implications for MIT’s international students and those enrolled at institutions across the country.
This morning, in response, MIT and Harvard jointly filed suit against ICE and the US Department of Homeland Security in federal court in Massachusetts. In the lawsuit, we ask the court to prevent ICE and DHS from enforcing the new guidance and to declare it unlawful.
The announcement disrupts our international students’ lives and jeopardizes their academic and research pursuits. ICE is unable to offer the most basic answers about how its policy will be interpreted or implemented. And the guidance comes after many US colleges and universities either released or are readying their final decisions for the fall – decisions designed to advance their educational mission and protect the health and safety of their communities.
Our international students now have many questions – about their visas, their health, their families and their ability to continue working toward an MIT degree. Unspoken, but unmistakable, is one more question: Am I welcome?
At MIT, the answer, unequivocally, is yes.
MIT’s strength is its people – no matter where they come from. I know firsthand the anxiety of arriving in this country as a student, excited to advance my education, but separated from my family by thousands of miles. I also know that welcoming the world’s brightest, most talented and motivated students is an essential American strength.”

В далеком 2016 Стив Бэннон (выпускник Harvard Business School) и Стивен Миллер обсуждали, как, дорвавшись до власти, они будут урезать легальную иммиграцию https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/2/14472404/steve-bannon-legal-immigration-problem

Ныне Миллер занимается исполнением. Преследование иностранных студентов - бессмысленная расистская жестокость, с помощью которой Трамп рассчитывает победить на выборах, чтобы продолжать разрушать страну.

Большое спасибо за информацию! Будем надеяться, что этот трюк трампонам не удастся.
