From a July 8 We Are Iowa story, "'Unwise' and 'disappointed': Iowa's public universities react to ICE decision on student visas."

Two of Iowa's public universities are responding to new requirements from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that foreign students must take classes in person in order to have their F-1 visas renewed.

Iowa State University President Wendy Wintersteen wrote a letter Monday, saying in part: 

"We believe this action by ICE is unwise. We are deeply concerned that this policy creates uncertainty and anxiety for our international students, who are already navigating many professional and personal challenges as a result of the pandemic."
