Harvard Challenges Trump's Administration's Decision
On Friday, Harvard University has challenged the US President Trump-led administration’s decision to bar the Ivy League school from enrolling the foreign students. The varsity has called the decision unconstitutional retaliation for defying the White House’s political demands. In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Boston, according to AP, Harvard said that the action by the government violates the First Amendment and will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.”
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its suit.
The department announced the action on Thursday and accused Harvard of creating an unsafe campus environment by allowing the “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to assault Jewish students on campus. It accused Harvard also of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party, contending the school hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024, reports AP.
