Harvard University has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration after being barred from enrolling international students. The Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard’s SEVP certification, citing the university's refusal to provide foreign student conduct records and failure to comply with government demands on policy changes. Harvard called the move unlawful and accused the administration of retaliating against its First Amendment rights. The ban impacts hundreds of students, including 788 Indians. Professors warned the decision could erode the university’s academic standing. Homeland Security insists enrolling foreign students is a privilege, not a right. (PC: AP)
