In a significant legal ruling, Judge Allison Burroughs halted the Trump administration's efforts to oust Harvard University from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which allows the university to sponsor foreign student visas. The government’s move was perceived as retaliatory for Harvard's dissent regarding the administration’s policies, explicitly citing a lack of 'viewpoint diversity'. Following this, Trump issued a proclamation restricting foreign students from entering the US for courses at Harvard, posing a new challenge to the university while attempting to frame it as a national security measure under his executive powers.
Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from removing Harvard University from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) due to its criticism of the administration.
The Trump administration retaliated against Harvard for its First Amendment protected activity by attempting to block foreign student access, citing a lack of 'viewpoint diversity' at the school.
In a proclamation aimed at 'enhancing national security,' Trump restricted foreign nationals seeking to study at Harvard, continuing a campaign against the university following the judicial block.
Despite the legal setbacks, the administration seeks to undermine Harvard's ability to host foreign students, framing the actions as necessary for national interests.
