Harvard Defeats Government’s Third Attempt to Block International Students

Harvard Wins Again: Judge Blocks Third Attempt to Restrict International Student Enrollment The ongoing legal battle between Harvard University and the US government over the enrollment of international students has reached another turning point. For the third time in as many weeks, a federal judge has blocked an administration attempt to restrict the university's ability to accept international students. The administration's repeated attempts, via executive orders, have been met with swift legal challenges from Harvard, resulting in consistent victories for the university. "The administration's actions represent a clear overreach and an attempt to stifle free speech," said a Harvard spokesperson. The spokesperson further emphasized the importance of international students to the university's academic community. The judge's rulings highlight the significant legal hurdles facing the administration's efforts to control student admissions. The repeated failures raise questions about the administration's strategy and the potential impact on US higher education's international reputation. While the administration has not yet commented on the latest ruling, the repeated setbacks suggest a potential shift in approach is needed. The consistent legal victories for Harvard underscore the importance of judicial oversight in protecting academic freedom and the right to education. The case continues to unfold, but the university’s success in these legal challenges sends a clear message about the limits of government overreach in higher education.
