Elite-Uni US Court Grants Temporary Reprieve for Harvard's International Students
- ~ 2 Mins
Court Halts Enforcement of restraint on Foreign Students at Harvard University - Court halts admission for international students at Harvard University, United States.
In a surprising twist, a fed-up federal court in the States has flicked the bird at President Donny D, blocking his announced banhammer on almost every foreign scholar aiming to study at the top-tier university – Harvard. Judge Alli D. Burroughs dropped the hammer, declaring that the existing rules shall stand tall until a court hearing.
Harvard University, nestled cozily in Cambridge, Massachusetts, showed judge Burroughs enough evidence to prove they'd face a world of hurt without this ruling. So, without further ado, the ban is on hold, kid.
Harvard: Breathe Easy, But Don't County on it too Hard
Now, this means that the university can take a much-needed break in its squabble with the Yank Gov, although the case's final verdict remains hazy. The university recently stepped up its legal game against Donny D by expanding its ongoing lawsuit.
The government has been whistleblowing about several universities, labelling them as far-left leaners, while claiming they ain't doing enough to tackle antisemitism. Harvard, though, is swinging for the fences, bucking Washington's far-reaching political directives.
Judge Smacks Down Trump Back in May
Donny D announced his travel restrictions on June 5, 2025, claiming foreign scholars eyeing Harvard ain't got jack for the Yanks. Harvard called bullshit, pointing out that the same schmoes would still be able to sneak in, as long as they don't intend to study at Harvard. The amended complaint argues that Trump is just trying to push his already-contested agenda through a sneaky backdoor.
Harvard's been waging war against the proposed exclusion of foreign students since last month. Judge Burroughs already crossed Trump's ban off the list in May, and now she's extended that order. It prevents the government from scrapping Harvard's ability to accept foreign students via a special federal program.
