This is utter bull****. I was already having a bad day, and reading that non-Title IV (read: international students) are barred from receiving emergency aid is depressing and heartbreaking. /1

International students are at much greater risk of falling into extreme poverty specifically because they can& #39;t take out student loans. They also aren& #39;t eligible to work off campus. I have seen devastating poverty among this group, and this guidance from ED is an insult. /2

And on top of all of that, many of them are facing significantly higher costs RIGHT NOW because they can& #39;t spend the summer at home with their families both because of the health risk of traveling and the risk that they may not be let back in.

I& #39;m speechless. 3/3
