Trump's Ban Threat Casts Shadow on Harvard Commencement

Harvard Commencement Day overshadowed by Trump's threat to ban international students. Amidst the celebrations at Harvard University's commencement ceremony, a hearing is underway concerning President Trump's controversial attempt to restrict international student enrollment. Abdullah Shahid Sial, the student body president and an international student himself, expressed his apprehension about the uncertainty created by these policies. "It's really unfortunate, and I want to bring back what you just said. Like Silicon Valley, for example, was built on the shoulders of international students who came into the U.S., and now it employs so many individuals," he stated, highlighting the significant contribution of international students to the American economy and society. The potential impact on future enrollments is a major concern, with Sial noting that the damage has already been done, leading to international students feeling unwelcome. Despite the celebratory atmosphere of the commencement, the shadow of this political issue hangs heavy, raising questions about the future of international education in the United States.
