Harvard, Trump Clash Again Over International Students | JQJO

Harvard University and the Trump administration are back in court over a presidential order barring Harvard from enrolling international students. President Trump's proclamation, citing national security concerns, directly limits Harvard's ability to admit international students, a first of its kind action. Harvard, which enrolls around 7,000 international students, argues the order is illegal retaliation violating its First Amendment rights and has asked a judge to block it. A temporary block is in place, with a decision on its extension expected Monday. The administration contends Harvard failed to address "known illegal activity" and violated students' civil rights. The case is part of a larger conflict between Harvard and the administration.
