Harvard University sued the Trump administration after losing its certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, risking the enrollment of over 6,000 international students. A judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking the revocation. Harvard's president condemned the actions as punitive and retaliatory, asserting the administration's demands following pro-Palestinian protests are not lawful. The lawsuit aims to restore the university's ability to enroll international students, crucial for its diverse academic environment and funding, amidst fears this sets a troubling precedent for other institutions.
"The revocation imperils the futures of thousands of students and scholars across Harvard and serves as a warning to countless others at colleges and universities throughout the country..."
"We believe that this decision was not only unfounded but also represents a concerning shift in the treatment of international students in the United States, affecting our educational mission."
