Trump Halts Foreign Student Enrollment at Harvard

President Trump's decision to bar Harvard from the student visa program has sent shockwaves through the academic community. The White House announced Wednesday that Harvard would be suspended from the program, effectively preventing foreign nationals from enrolling. This action is part of an ongoing battle between the Trump administration and Harvard, which has challenged several of the administration's policies in court. Harvard relies heavily on tuition from international students, who make up approximately 25% of its student body. The administration's decision is expected to have a significant financial impact on the university. The move comes after Harvard rejected demands from the administration's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, which included demands for increased oversight of faculty hiring and student admissions. The administration has also taken steps to reduce research funding for Harvard and investigate its acceptance of foreign donations. "This is a blatant attack on academic freedom," said one Harvard professor. The university plans to challenge the administration's decision in court. The outcome of this legal challenge will have major implications for Harvard and other universities.
