An additional challenge is that classes will, almost certainly, be scheduled based on "local time". Students attending from other countries may find themselves needing to significantly time-shift their studies.

This is definitely a major issue - the US has a lot of students who come in from China, which would require a very significant time shift. Those students may also not be able to access the digital resources they need for class due to internet censorship, or they may simply be unable to join live class sessions due to latency or overall speed issues.

I had overlooked the potential impact of internet censorship. It seems like it would be very hard to take a graduate-level class without access to resources like Google Scholar.
