Summary:
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed a new rule that would limit the duration of stay for international students in the United States.
- The proposed rule would replace the current "duration of status" system, which allows international students to remain in the country for the duration of their academic program, with a fixed period of stay.
- Many universities, higher education associations, and international student advocates have expressed concerns about the potential negative impact of this rule on international student enrollment and the ability of students to complete their studies.
