Rice plans to support Harvard and MIT in lawsuit against new ICE regulations for international students
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) updated regulations for students on nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 visas on July 5. According to President David Leebron, Rice plans to participate in legal action to overturn these new regulations by participating in the action filed by Harvard and MIT through an amicus brief.
Administration’s communications should be clear and realistic, not cautiously optimistic
Students deserve to know more given the substantial adjustments we will have to make in response. We implore the administration to be more transparent about their contingency plans.
Demands, not suggestions: When it comes to anti-racism on campus, the administration must listen to Black students
We believe the contents of Leebron’s email, and the fact that it has been the only statement made by the administration on the subject, show that the administration is not taking these demands seriously enough. We implore the administration to take decisive action and commit to implementing the demands of Rice's Black community.
