The United States government rescinded its controversial decision to revoke foreign student visas whose courses move online due to coronavirus, a federal judge said Tuesday.

미국 정부가 코로나바이러스로 인해 온라인 강좌를 수강하는 외국인 학생 비자를 취소하려고 한 논란이 일던 결정을 철회했다고 화요일 연방지방법원 판사는 밝혔다.


The universities of Harvard and MIT ― with the support of a number of other institutions, teachers' unions and at least 18 U.S. states ― had taken legal action against the move that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on July 6.

하버드와 MIT 대학들은 다른 여러 기관, 교원 노조와 적어도 미국의 18개 주의 지원을 받아 7월 6일 미 국토안보부 산하 이민세관단속국(ICE)이 발표한 조치에 대해 법적 조치를 취한 상태였다.


"The government has agreed to rescind the decision" as well as any implementation of the directive, Judge Allison Burroughs said in a brief hearing.

앨리슨 버로스 판사는 "정부는 명령의 이행과 함께 이 같은 결정을 철회하기로 합의했다"고 밝혔다.


Harvard and MIT earlier this month had asked the court to block the order announced by ICE that students must leave the country if their classes are only online, or transfer to a school offering in-person tuition.

하버드대와 MIT대학은 이달 초 미국 이민세관단속국(ICE)이 발표한 ‘수업이 모두 온라인일 경우 반드시 출국해야 한다'거나 ‘대면강의를 제공하는 학교로 편입을 해야 한다'는 명령을 금지해달라고 법원에 요청했다.


The measure was seen as a move by President Donald Trump's administration to put pressure on educational institutions that are adopting a cautious approach to reopening amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.

이는 도널드 트럼프 행정부가 전 세계적인 코로나19 대유행 속에 조심스러운 수업 재개를 채택하고 있는 교육기관들 압박하려는 조치로 풀이된다.


The universities say in their lawsuit that the order would harm students "immensely," both personally and financially.

대학들은 소송에서 이러한 명령은 학생들에게 개인적으로나 재정적으로나 ‘엄청난' 해를 끼칠 것이라고 주장한다.


There were more than one million international students in the U.S. for the 2018-19 academic year, according to the Institute of International Education (IIE).

미국 국제교육연구소(IIE)에 따르면 2018~19년도 미국 내 유학생 수는 100만 명을 넘었다.


The court gave no reason for the Trump administration's flip, and the president did not immediately react Tuesday.

법원은 트럼프 행정부의 철회에 대한 이유를 설명하지 않았고, 대통령은 화요일 이에 대해 즉각 반응하지 않았다.
