Statement from NYU President Andrew Hamilton On Rescinding of Recent Rules About International Students

"The swift overturning of recent federal rules that could have upended the lives of our international students comes as wonderful news. I am sure I speak for the entire NYU community in expressing a profound sense of gratification that our thousands of international students can look forward to this coming academic year without this unjustifiable threat hovering over their heads.

"Justice triumphed today. And this outcome clearly reaffirms how valued a part of our campus communities international students are.

"We should take pride in NYU's support for Harvard and MIT's suit, as well as for the suit filed by the New York State Attorney General."
