COGS Full Council Denounces DHS Proposed F/J Visas Policy
In their October 14, 2020 full council meeting, The Council of Graduate Students (COGS) passed, by unanimous vote, a statement condemning the proposed DHS F/J Visas Policy. The statement was unanimously approved by the COGS Full Council in response to the proposed rule: “Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media” (Federal Register Number 2020-20845). It will be submitted as a public comment and distributed to the MSU congressional delegation.
COGS encourages MSU graduate and professional students to submit their own public comment at https://beta.regulations.gov/document/ICEB-2019-0006-0001 by the October 25, 2020 deadline.
