A federal judge's decision to extend a temporary restraining order prevents the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University's participation in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, safeguarding over 5,000 international students and scholars. Harvard's lawsuit argues that the government's actions violate constitutional rights, and President Garber criticized the initiative as retaliatory. The University emphasized the crucial role of international students and reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a diverse academic community, celebrating this legal victory alongside the commencement celebrations.
"Today's court decision allows the University to continue hosting international students and scholars while the case moves forward," a spokesperson said.
"Harvard will continue to take steps to protect the rights of our international students and scholars, members of our community who are vital to the University's academic mission..."
President Alan Garber has described the Trump administration's efforts as retaliatory, indicating a deeper context for the legal battle.
In its lawsuit, Harvard argues that the government's actions violate the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
