The American Council on Education in conjunction with more than 80 other organizations submitted comments to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expressing strong opposition to a proposed rule, which creates a fixed duration of admission of either two years or four years for international students, scholars, and researchers on F or J visas. Presently, international students and scholars are allowed to remain as long as they are enrolled full time in a program of study.
