Harvard President's Ovation Highlights Legal Victory for International Students

Harvard President Receives Standing Ovation Amidst Legal Battle Over International Students Cambridge, MA – Harvard University's 2025 commencement ceremony took an interesting turn when President Alan Garber received a standing ovation from the graduating class. His remarks, while not directly addressing the ongoing legal challenges, focused on celebrating the achievements of students from "around the world." This positive message stands in contrast to the ongoing legal battle. A US federal court recently extended a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's efforts to restrict international student enrollment at Harvard. The judge's decision highlights the university's commitment to diversity and global collaboration. "Members of the class of 2025 from down the street, across the country, and around the world," President Garber stated, emphasizing the global nature of the student body. The judge's ruling ensures that Harvard can continue its tradition of welcoming students from all corners of the globe. The commencement ceremony served as a powerful symbol of unity and academic excellence, even amid ongoing legal challenges.
