Cambridge: An American court has arrested President Donald Trump’s attempt to prevent Harvard University from accepting international students.
The judge said foreign students should be protected while the legal struggle continues. This occurs when Trump continues to press the best universities about what he calls political bias.
Thousands of Harvard students with dresses with crimson mount celebrated their graduation on Thursday.
Trump has turned Harvard into the central objective of his campaign against US elite universities.
Judge Allison Burroughs said that she would later issue a preliminary judicial order that “gives some protection” to international students, while the two parties discuss the legality of Trump’s position.
“Our students are terrified, and we already have people who transferred to other universities,” said Harvard’s lawyer, Ian Gershengorn, during the Boston audience.
In a presentation of a time at the time before the hearing, the Trump administration issued a formal notice of intention to withdraw Harvard’s ability to register foreign students, which triggers the official process.
The presentation gave Harvard 30 days to produce evidence that explains why they should not block the organization and enroll international students, who currently represent 27 percent of Harvard’s student body.
Burroughs had already temporarily stopped the policy and extended that pause on Thursday, waiting for the new court order. She said she would examine whether Trump’s officials had acted with “a reason for retaliation.”
A law professor in the Full Court Chamber said the Trump administration was prolonging the suffering of the students.
“Harvard is in this purgatory. What should an international student do?” The graduate of the Harvard Law Faculty said, which refused to be appointed.
‘Pride and approval’
It was “this spectrum of other actions” that the government could still take to prevent Harvard from being host of international students, the judge added.
The Ivy League institution has continuously drawn Trump’s anger while publicly rejected repeated repeated demands of his administration to deliver control over recruitment, curricula and research priorities.
“Harvard is treating our country with great respect, and all they are doing is deepening more and more,” Trump said Wednesday.
The president of Harvard, Alan Garber, received great joy when he recognized international students who attended graduation with their families, describing it “as it should be.” He did not mention Trump’s dispute directly.
Garber received a standing ovation, which a student said that AFP was “revealing the pride and approval of the community.”
He has led the legal resistance within the American academy after Trump attacked several prestigious universities, including Columbia, which made radical concessions to the administration in an effort to recover $ 400 million in federal subsidies withdrawn.
Garber has recognized that Harvard faces challenges with anti -Semitism and with the promotion of a climate where a diversity of views can be expressed freely.
The graduate student Uzma Farheen, from India, who obtained a master’s degree in public health, said the day was “love for the global community.”
“We are united to powerfully represent what Harvard represents: truth, integrity and inclusion,” he told AFP.
Before the ceremony, where the stage legend and the Rita Moreno screen received an honorary title, members of the Harvard band in Crimson Blazers marched down the narrow streets of Cambridge.
Hundreds of students gathered in front of a great scenario to listen to speeches, including one completely in Latin, within a closed grass area to the public for security reasons.
Many students from the Harvard Kennedy Government School carried inflatable plastic balloons during the ceremony to symbolize the international character of the school.
“In the last two months, it has been very difficult. I have felt extremely vulnerable,” said Lorena Mejia, 36, a Colombian graduate who obtained a teacher in the public administration and proudly used robes that identify his nationality.
