The Trump administration's recent decision to revoke Harvard University’s eligibility for enrolling international students has heightened tensions between the government and the institution. This decision impacts over 6,000 students currently enrolled, forcing them to consider transferring or risking their legal status. Education advocates criticize this action as detrimental not only to Harvard but also to the wider educational landscape in the US, arguing that international students play a vital role in enhancing the academic community. The announcement further complicates matters for prospective international students amid a backdrop of declining enrollment.
Education advocates denounced the administration's latest attack against Harvard as a gross overreach that they warn will damage US students as well.
International students are not bargaining chips; they are scholars, researchers and contributors to our communities whose presence strengthens US higher education and society.
The latest announcement is certain to further destabilize the plans of students from abroad who were hoping to enroll at US universities this fall.
A significant drop in foreign student enrollment will have serious consequences for universities' finances at a time when many are already feeling the pinch.
