Donald Trump dismissed for six months in six months to enter foreign students seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University.
On Wednesday, the US president made a announcement, citing “national security” and announcing its “pernicious” US interest to continue to allow foreign students to the institution.
Harvard replied, calling the “Retaliatory” order and stressed that he would continue to defend his foreign students, Reuters reports.
Trump’s announcement is another escalation of a permanent legal line with one of the most prestigious US universities after Harvard refused to give way to the White House in April.
Order on Wednesday comes after magistrate blocked the Department of Internal Security (DHS) from the ban on foreign students in Harvard in a resolution last week.
Trump’s proclamation has accused Harvard of developing “broad confusion” with foreign countries and continuing “deploying the civil rights of its students and teachers”.
“Given these facts, I determined that it is necessary to restrict the entry of foreign nationals seeking to enter the US exclusively or mainly to participate in the study at Harvard University,” he said.
The order also suspends visas for international students looking for exchange programs and makes the Secretary of State consider the recall of the existing visas of students who are currently studying at the university.
The suspension can be extended in six months.
The White House states that Harvard did not give sufficient information in DHS about “known illegal or dangerous events of foreign students” and reported “only three students”.
Harvard made a statement called “another illegal retaliation made by the administration in violation of the first Harvard amendment,” Reuters reports.
The world’s richest university was involved in a legal battle with the Trump administration after it froze billions of federal financing and accused the institute of not having anti -Semitism on the campus.
Last month, DHS secretary Christie Noah withdrew Harvard certification necessary to enroll foreign students into campus, and this was rapidly blocked by the judge.
Another federal judge supported the decision last Thursday, saying that it would make a long -term content that will allow foreign students to continue their studies at Harvard while the legal battle was playing.
However, the announcement on Wednesday once again throws the futures of thousands of foreign students into the suspension.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Harvard enrolled nearly 7,000 foreign students, who made up 27% of their population.
Last week, a Chinese Harvard student called for unity during the university graduates ceremony, just a few days after Trump promised to “aggressively” withdraw visas for Chinese students.
In the last few months, the Trump administration has strengthened the repression of higher education in the United States, accusing universities of failing to cope with anti -Semitism amid protests against war in gas in different towns.
Previously on Wednesday White House threatened to deprive the Colombian University He violated the civil rights of his Jewish students about his accreditation about his allegations.
