In a controversial move, the Trump administration has announced new restrictions on foreign students at Harvard University, sparking outrage and concern among the international student community.
The new rules, which were presented at a hearing involving Harvard's lawyers and government representatives, include a ban on certain categories of foreign students and a cap on the number of international students admitted to the prestigious university.
According to sources, the Trump administration claims that these measures are necessary to protect national security and ensure that American students have access to educational opportunities. However, critics argue that the restrictions unfairly target foreign students and could have a chilling effect on academic freedom at Harvard.
In response to the announcement, Harvard has 30 days to reply with their objections to the new rules. Leaders at the university have expressed their deep concern over the impact these restrictions will have on the diverse and vibrant international community that makes up a significant portion of Harvard's student body.
As the debate rages on, the fate of Harvard's international students hangs in the balance, with many wondering what the future holds for foreign students at one of the world's most prestigious universities.
