Harvard Wins Legal Battle Against Trump Administration

Harvard Wins Legal Battle Against Trump Administration: Judge Blocks Attempt to Revoke International Student Certification In a significant legal victory for Harvard University, a U.S. District Judge has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to revoke the university's certification to accept international students. The administration's attempt was deemed unlawful due to its failure to adhere to proper legal procedure, prompting the judge to issue a preliminary injunction. The decision follows a 30-day notice issued by the administration. However, District Judge Allison Burroughs stated that this notice period did not meet the legally required timeframe. "I do think an order is necessary. It doesn't need to be draconian, but I want to make sure nothing changes. I want to maintain the status quo," said the judge. The injunction prevents any action by the administration to revoke Harvard's certification without first completing the legally mandated process. This decision marks a setback for the Trump administration's efforts to restrict international student enrollment at Harvard. The university has consistently maintained its commitment to a diverse student body, and this legal victory ensures that its international students can continue their studies without interruption. The ruling underscores the importance of due process and the rule of law in government actions affecting educational institutions.
