About 60 U.S. universities on Sunday filed a brief supporting a lawsuit by two others, seeking to block a Trump administration rule barring foreign students from remaining in the country if educational institutions don't hold in-person classes this fall.
The lawsuit was filed by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on Wednesday in a federal court in Boston.
The so-called amicus brief - a supporting document submitted by interested parties - was filed by 59 U.S. universities on Sunday, including seven other Ivy League schools.
