Harvard University is embroiled in a legal battle with the Trump administration over the enrollment of international students, prompted by a presidential proclamation aimed at limiting their entry into the U.S. The administration cites national security and claims that Harvard has failed to protect the civil rights of its students, particularly Jewish students. Harvard has countered with a lawsuit, arguing that the president's actions represent an illegal retaliatory step that violates First Amendment rights. A federal judge is set to hear the case, which holds significant implications for the school's 7,000 international students.
"The Trump administration has also argued that Harvard violated students' civil rights, including failing to protect Jewish students, and that banning the school from enrolling international students is warranted."
"Admission into the United States to attend, conduct research, or teach at our Nation's institutions of higher education is a privilege granted by our Government, not a guarantee," the proclamation states.
"Harvard amended an existing lawsuit against the administration to ask a judge to block the order, calling the president's actions 'another illegal retaliatory step.'"
"The court hearing is a very big deal for international students; it will determine their ability to attend classes at Harvard University."
