🇺🇸 HARVARD TAKES TRUMP TO COURT OVER STUDENT BAN
Harvard is suing the Trump administration after being told it can no longer enroll international students starting in 2025.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the call, accusing the university of enabling violence, antisemitism, and cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party.
She argues that federal support shouldn’t go to institutions that, in her words, fail to uphold basic standards of safety and loyalty.
Harvard strongly disagrees.
In a lawsuit filed today, the university called the move unconstitutional and a form of retaliation for resisting political pressure.
The ban, it says, threatens over 7,000 international students—about a quarter of its student body—and undercuts its global mission.
The stakes go beyond campus. International students contribute around $40 billion to the U.S. economy each year.
The case could shape whether colleges maintain independence over what they teach—or whether Washington gets more say in how they operate.
