US EditionHarvard holds commencement while facing Trump administration pressure
- Harvard held its 2025 commencement amid heightened pressure from the Trump administration to end hosting international students and scholars.
- This pressure resulted from concerns that Harvard allowed foreign students to engage in protests and failed to comply with a federal demand for information.
- Last week, federal authorities withdrew Harvard's certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, leading to visa denials, legal disputes, and initiatives by Asian universities to accommodate affected students.
- More than 27 percent of Harvard’s 2024-25 enrollment consists of foreign students, many of whom face uncertainty and emotional distress due to visa denials and potential deportation.
- The ongoing conflict has forced Harvard to consider transformation, while foreign governments and universities seek to absorb affected students, reflecting broader tensions in international education cooperation.
