President Trump signed a proclamation suspending international visas for new students at Harvard University, blocking nearly all new student admissions under typical study visas. This intensifies efforts against foreign student enrollment, which constitutes 27% of Harvard’s student body. The White House claims this move is for national security reasons, citing Harvard’s insufficient reporting on foreign students and concerns of radicalism. Harvard has criticized the decision as illegal interference, asserting it protects its international students and their rights, amid recent judicial challenges to similar restrictions by the administration.
