The Harvard College Housing Office notified international students whose requests to stay on campus over break were initially denied, that they would be reconsidered, apologizing for the confusion.
The email emphasized that the Housing Office's inconsistency in criteria for decision-making led to misunderstanding and the university never intended to cause distress for the students.
An alumnus expressed outrage, stating they were appalled by Harvard's refusal to house international students during winter break and the hardships it potentially caused.
In response to the backlash, an online petition was created, gathering 337 signatures as students and alumni expressed their concerns over the university's decision.
