US EditionWall Street Journal slams Trump admin for ‘short-sighted attack’ on Harvard
- The Trump administration barred Harvard University from enrolling foreign students starting May 2025 in a move centered in Washington, D.C.
- This action arose after Harvard defied the administration’s demands concerning admissions policies and campus antisemitism, with critics viewing it as politically motivated.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued a belligerent warning to other universities, and the administration justified the move by alleging Harvard failed to protect Israeli students.
- A federal judge temporarily blocked the enrollment ban, allowing Harvard to continue admitting international students while the university challenges the administration’s policy in court.
- Observers warn this dispute endangers U.S. Economic interests and academic leadership by discouraging global talent from studying in America, signaling a potentially damaging shift in higher education policy.
