"International students, Left in the Lurch: New Yorkers Who Desperately Need Help" (NY Daily News)
Description
This July 2020 NY Daily News article by two CUNY graduate students specifically documented issues faced by CUNY international students during the COVID pandemic, given CUNY's budget cuts, online instruction models, and requirements by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to maintain residence status in the United States. The article documented the ways some visas were set to be "abruptly terminated" at the end of the academic year and the imperative for international students to be able to remain in the US.
This item is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) Distance Learning Archive, a group project developed as part of Prof. Matthew K. Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
