Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3610389, member: 15"] I'm not aware of anyone who thinks or is tempted to think that the motivation behind these lawsuits doesn't include the financial self-interest of the colleges and universities. The financial implications have been well-documented. The government's motivation is not altruistic either though one could argue it should be. The primary goal of the lawsuits right now is to get these rules enjoined. One requirement for an injunction is to show irreparable harm to the affected parties. Irreparable harm in these cases will come from the consequences of forced deportation of foreign students currently in the US. Another example of irreparable harm will be the risk of Covid infection to students, faculty, staff and the local communities if schools are forced to offer in-person classes. Monetary damages are typically not considered irreparable harm but there may be some universities who are making that claim. [/QUOTE]
