Florida requires face-to-face instruction. Does it affect international students?

In order to cope with the serious economic impact caused by the epidemic, Florida issued a new order on July 6, requiring all physics schools to start in autumn, providing students with the choice of attending classes five days a week, and Florida stipulates that they must be taught face to face. According to the executive order signed by the Florida Commissioner of Education, public schools in Florida must open their campuses in August and operate five days a week so that all students can choose the traditional school calendar. However, according to the order, if the local or state health department considers such a plan unsafe, it can be exempted from this requirement. In hillsborough County, Tampa Bay, the education department has issued a notice to parents to choose how to send their children back to school. At present, there are three choices: one is to go back to class; Second, use the internet at home and attend classes with teachers and students in the classroom; Third, the mixed mode. Florida's public universities have also decided to reopen in the fall. At present, it is ready to provide a mixed mode of indoor and online classes. Yesterday, the US Immigration Bureau issued a regulation that surprised everyone. If international students only take online classes in autumn, they may be deported. This regulation has attracted a lot of opposition from students, teachers and other people in education. In order to prevent a large number of international students from being repatriated, some universities that originally announced that they would only offer online courses in autumn may be forced to change to mixed mode. According to the new regulations of the Immigration Bureau, if universities teach in a mixed mode, foreign students can take multiple online courses as long as they take one face-to-face course. The University of South Florida has sent an email to the students, saying that the mixed teaching mode will be adopted in the fall, and they will cooperate with international students to ensure that they meet the new regulations of the Immigration Bureau. At the University of California, Berkeley, some students proposed to set up a credit face-to-face course for international students to register to meet the new regulations of the Immigration Bureau. This proposal has been supported by many people on social media. I hope that the majority of international students can also complete their study tasks well during the epidemic.
