In a surprising twist, the Trump administration revoked Harvard University’s certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program last Thursday, effectively blocking the institution from enrolling new international students. This decision marks a significant shake-up for one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized, "Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country. Enrolling international students is a privilege – not a right – and that privilege has been revoked due to Harvard's repeated failure to comply with federal law."
This bold move is sparking conversations globally, especially among aspiring students from South and Southeast Asia who dream of studying at renowned institutions ✨. For many tech-savvy and socially conscious young professionals, it’s a reminder that even the best must adhere to strict standards to maintain their privileges in today’s interconnected world.
As debates unfold over academic policies and international student mobility, many are left wondering what this means for the future of global education. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story!
