President Trump has signed an executive order to block nearly all foreign students from Harvard, citing national security concerns. This controversial action targets the significant international student body that constitutes a quarter of Harvard's enrollment. The administration claims that Harvard's conduct has made it "unsuitable" for foreign researchers. This executive order escalates existing tensions between the White House and Harvard, especially after a federal court recently blocked a related attempt to restrict international students. Harvard officials plan to challenge the order, framing it as a violation of their constitutional rights.
"I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard's conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers."
"This is yet another illegal retaliatory step taken by the Administration in violation of Harvard's First Amendment rights," university officials said.
