US EditionHarvard holds commencement while facing Trump administration pressure
- Harvard University held its 2025 commencement amid pressure from the Trump administration’s efforts to ban international students and scholars, primarily in the United States.
- The administration revoked Harvard's visa certification due to noncompliance with an April 16 request for information on international students, who were linked to alleged disruptions and protests.
- The Department of Homeland Security instructed agencies to end unnecessary Harvard contracts and avoid future engagements, while many foreign governments are creating programs to attract returning students.
- More than 27 percent of Harvard’s 2024-25 enrollment are foreign students, causing fear and confusion among them, leading to multiple visa refusals and increasing transfer requests to other universities.
- A federal judge temporarily suspended the visa ban, buying time for affected students, but the administration’s campaign against Harvard signals an ongoing struggle that may reshape its international student population.
