In a surprising twist in U.S. education law, federal judge Allison Burroughs has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's move to bar Harvard from hosting foreign students. This decision means that approximately 7,000 foreign students can continue their studies while legal battles unfold.
Earlier, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard's certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program — a measure seen as retaliatory against Harvard's stance on campus protests, admissions, and hiring policies.
Even after efforts in early June to bar foreign students from entering, the judge's ruling offered a vital reprieve for Harvard's diverse community, ensuring the university remains a hub for global talent. 🚀
This ruling adds another chapter to the ongoing debate over academic freedom and government influence in higher education. Stay tuned as this evolving story continues to shape the future of international learning!
