US EditionHarvard Has Long Been the World's Top College. Trump's Sanction Puts Its Allure at Risk
- The U.S. government blocked Harvard University from enrolling foreign students on Thursday, potentially banning new admissions for at least two school years at its Cambridge, Massachusetts campus.
- This action followed rising tensions with the White House and concerns over federal research funding cuts totaling $2.6 billion, which have jeopardized Harvard’s international allure and stature.
- Harvard, which enrolls close to 6,800 international students and has an endowment of $53 billion, stated in a lawsuit that the university’s identity depends heavily on its foreign student population, and cautioned that top applicants might choose to attend elsewhere.
- International students expressed being stunned and deeply concerned about their legal status and degrees, with graduate student Walid Akef calling the move "absolutely disastrous," while President Trump said he was "taking a look at a lot of things."
- A federal judge issued a temporary block on the government's decision, suggesting Harvard may face significant challenges but retains the chance to restore its position as a global academic leader.
