On June 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation suspending the entry of international students and exchange visitors to Harvard University for six months. The move, justified by alleged ties between Harvard and foreign adversaries—particularly China—aims to protect national security. The order also directs the State Department to consider revoking existing student visas. Harvard condemned the action as politically motivated and a violation of constitutional rights. The decision escalates tensions between the administration and Harvard, following previous threats to revoke its tax-exempt status and international enrollment privileges. A federal judge may soon intervene. (PC: Reuters)
