The updated version of the law would restrict this only to R1/R2 US universities. No foreign university, even Cambridge/Oxford would be eligible.

See https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&Fil... Page 218, lines 3 to 9:

QUALIFYING INSTITUTIONS .—The term ‘‘qualifying institutions’’ means institutions of higher education that are classified as either very-high research intensive (R1) or high research intensive (R2) status universities by the Carnegie Classification of Academic Institutions.

This sounds reasonable in that the current system probably has similar requirements in place for the CPT/OPT route. I think the text also says "(bb) from a foreign institution if such degree is the equivalent to a degree issued by a qualified United States research institution" which is murky. The likelihood of any of this passing are slim though.
