#4The title of this post could be improved a lot. "US to withdraw visas for students at completely online colleges"
Aside from that, this is a dumb move, and going to potentially affect up to hundreds of thousands of students. If not in actual effect, then at least in perception and concern about whether the US is the place for them to study and want to contribute to.
And moreover in the short term, basically incentivizes some significant portion to stop wanting to pay full tuition for essentially remote study that could be given by anyone. I await the trickle down effects on the lost spending and economic impacts in college towns of people getting kicked out from this.

Hard to say - this could be a way to force universities to fully open as well; most universities with heavy international population would want this to happen to their paying students.

Actually it's not that. It's not "withdraws visas for online only universities."
It's actually no visa even if you are on-site and taking in person classes but take more than 1 class (3 credits) from online classes.

It’s a dumb move if you see the impact on the students as a bad thing.
If you want to make the US an unappealing place to emigrate to, and thus drive down immigration and please your nativists, then it’s a smart move.
Based on the way the wind blows in US politics, this is a smart move. They could be even smarter, and once they’ve got the students out of the country, terminate their courses. There’s no way they’d ever want to come back after that, and it would be raucously popular with the natvist support base.

As has become the norm, this punch will boomerang back and have the opposite effect. China's brain drain [1] further reduces and the engineers who would've built companies here will do so in China now.

There is a 0% chance that the universities don't respond to this and come up with some online/in-person mix to satisfy the visa requirements. International students are cash cows.
In all honestly, this likely has little to do with international students and more the Trump administration purposefully forcing the universities hands.
Just a theory.
