Abstract

The emergence of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020 forced most students who had been studying abroad to return to the United States. Even as travel restrictions eased in the ensuing months, universities and international education organizations struggled to contend with conflicting statements regarding policy and health guidelines from the federal government. In this chapter, we present the policy context surrounding the early spread of COVID-19, universities’ early responses, the pushback against federal government travel advisory levels, and recommendations for educational institutions moving forward.
