US EditionTrump administration blocks Harvard from enrolling international students
- The Trump administration announced on Thursday, March 22, 2025, that it revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students in the 2025-26 school year in Massachusetts.
- This decision comes after the Department of Homeland Security accused Harvard of fostering a campus atmosphere where hostile individuals with anti-American and pro-terrorist views were able to attack Jewish students, thereby undermining the safety and integrity of the learning environment.
- Harvard, which has the nation's largest athletic program with 42 varsity teams and 21% of athletes from international hometowns, faces losing over 6,800 foreign students, representing more than a quarter of its total enrollment.
- University President Alan Garber vowed to comply with the law while continuing to fight hate, and Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey emphasized that foreign students contribute to studying, research, businesses, jobs, and innovations in the state.
- The revocation risks forcing international students to transfer or leave the country, potentially damaging Harvard’s research programs and affecting the wider U.S. Academic landscape, while the administration considers similar actions at other universities.
