The federal judge pauses Trump’s efforts because the American president said that an “agreement” with the Ivy League school was in preparation.
A federal judge in the United States blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to prevent Harvard from registering for foreign students, offering the prestigious university another victory because she challenges several government sanctions In the middle of a battle with the White House.
Friday ordinance by district judge Allison Burroughs in Boston preserves Harvard’s ability to welcome international students While a trial brought by the Ivy League school takes place in court.
Burroughs, however, added that the federal government always had the power to review Harvard admission policies through normal processes described in law.
Harvard found himself involved in a polarizing debate on academic freedom and the right to protest against genocide in Gaza While its pro-Palestine students demanded a complete disclosure of the oldest and richest investments in the country in companies linked to Israel and the disinvestment of these companies.
Trump and his allies claim that Harvard and other American universities who have seen similar demonstrations, are inexplicable bastions of liberal biases and anti-Semitism “.
In May, Harvard continued the Department of Internal Security after the agency suddenly withdrawn the school certification to register foreign students and publish documents for their visas, along most of its usual procedures.
The action would have forced around 7,000 international students from Harvard – about a quarter of its total registration and a major revenue source – to transfer or risk being in the United States without the necessary documents. New foreign students were reportedly prohibited from coming to Harvard.
The University said it was undergoing illegal reprisals for rejected requests from the White House to revise Harvard policies linked to campus demonstrations, admissions and hiring.
Trump, who reduced about $ 3.2 billion in federal subsidies for Harvard and tried many tactics to prevent the institution from welcoming international students, said his administration had negotiations with Harvard.
“Many people have asked for what is happening with Harvard University and their large -scale irregularities that we addressed, looking for a solution,” said Trump in an article on Friday on Truth Social.
“We have worked closely with Harvard, and it is very possible that an agreement is announced in next week,” he said. “If a settlement is established on the basis which is currently under discussion, it will be” historic and very good for our country “.
Trump has provided no details on the alleged “agreement”.
