Heres how international students could be impacted at Harvard

A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's order that barred international students from attending Harvard, allowing the university to host around 7,000 international students. The ruling provides immediate relief but leaves faculty and students anxious about the upcoming academic year, especially in programs with significant international enrollment. The Kennedy School of Government, where 56% of students are international, has launched contingency plans, offering online coursework and in-person classes at a partner institution in Canada. Harvard President Alan Garber condemned the administration's actions as unlawful retaliation against the university. The Trump administration has also frozen over $2 billion in federal research grants and attempted to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status.

Experts like Professor Walter Willett warn that even if policies change, rebuilding trust with international students will take years. The ongoing legal and political battles raise concerns about the future of international education in the U. S. as schools adapt to maintain their diverse student bodies.
