America’s renowned Harvard University has dragged the Trump administration to court after a decision by the university. The university has filed a lawsuit in the Boston Federal Court against the Trump administration for taking away the right to admit foreign students.
In the case filed in the court, Harvard has called Trump’s decision a clear violation of the US Constitution and federal laws. The university said that this decision has had an immediate and devastating effect not only on the university but also on more than 7000 visa holders.
The 389-year-old Harvard University said that with the stroke of a pen, the Trump administration has tried to wipe out a quarter of Harvard’s student body. The university said that Harvard is not Harvard without its international students.
Let us tell you that in an unprecedented decision, the Trump administration of America has cancelled Harvard University’s eligibility to admit foreign students. The administration informed the university on Thursday that it had taken this step as part of an ongoing investigation into the university by the Department of Homeland Security.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote a letter to the university saying its eligibility to enroll international students has been terminated. This decision of the Trump administration is being seen as a growing conflict with the university, but thousands of foreign students will have to bear the brunt of it. Indian students will also be significantly affected by this move of the administration.
