A US federal judge on Friday upheld the Trump administration’s plan to halt enrollment at Harvard University and allow foreign students to enroll in its institutions by issuing a temporary restraining order. For the academic year 2024 to 2025, there will be at least 788 students and researchers from India enrolled in the school’s 13 schools. Prior to the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to revoke Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program documentation, Harvard had filed a lawsuit against the Trump presidency. The organization had stated that” current foreign students may transfer or lose their constitutional status” and that Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students. Additionally, the collegiate had filed a motion in court for a temporary restraining order to stop the president’s order from being implemented immediately. The lawsuit, which was filed in Massachusetts, accused the management of a” campaign of retribution” and claimed that it was” distinct retaliation for Harvard’s exercising its First Amendment right to command Harvard’s management, curriculum, and “ideology” of its faculty and students. According to Harvard Global Support Services, between 500 and 800 Indian students and researchers research at Harvard each month. According to Harvard International Office projections, the collegiate has a total of about 10, 158 individuals and scholars from all over the world residing in its institutions.
