Students should consider suing Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for charging them full tuition despite exclusively relying on remote learning in the fall, said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany during a press conference.

“I think the policy speaks for itself,” McEnany said Wednesday, when asked about Harvard and MIT’s lawsuit to block a new rule by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would prohibit international students from staying in the country if they take classes entirely online. “You know, you don’t get a visa for taking online classes from let’s say, the University of Phoenix, so why would you if you were just taking online classes generally?”
