Washington (AP) – A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s proclamation, which prevented foreign students from visiting the USA at Harvard University.
Trump’s proclamation, which was published on Wednesday, was the most recent attempt by his government to prevent the country’s oldest and richest college from collecting a quarter of his students who blame a huge part of Harvard’s research and scholarships.
The next day, Harvard hired a legal contestation and asked for a judge to block Trump’s command and to describe illegal retaliation for the rejection of the Weiße House’s demands. Harvard said the president tried a final run by an earlier court decision.
A few hours later, the US district judge Allison Burroughs in Boston gave a momentary injunction against Trump’s indulgence on Wednesday. Harvard, she said, showed that “immediate and irreparable injuries” would suffer before she would have the opportunity to hear from the parties in the lawsuit.
Burroughs also expanded the momentary grip that she started on the government’s previous attempt to end the enrollment of international students by Harvard. Last month, the Harvard’s Ministry of Homeland Protection revoked certification to organize foreign students and to issue them for their visas, just to temporarily block Burroughs. Trump’s command this week referred to another legal authority.
If Trump’s measure would survive this court request, it would block thousands of students who were supposed to come for the summer and autumn office on Harvard’s Harvard campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“The more than 7,000 F-1 and J-1-Visa holder of more than 7,000 F-1 and J-1 and their relatives become farmers in the escalation campaign of the government of the retaliation measure,” Harvard wrote in a court registration on Thursday.
While the court proceedings are made, Harvard does emergency plans so that students and guest scientists can continue their work at the university, President Alan Garber said in a message to campus and alumni.
“Each of us is part of a really global university community,” said Garber on Thursday. “We know that the advantages of bringing talented people from all over the world are unique and irreplaceable.”
Harvard attracted a growing number of brightest heads from all over the world, with the international enrollment of 11% of the student body increased to 26% three decades ago.
While these students are waiting to find out whether they are able to visit the university, some other options are pursuing.
Harvard and other elite universities have made the increasing international enrollment uniquely susceptible to Trump’s approach to foreign students. The Republicans tried to force overwhelming the nation’s top college, which they see as breeding sites of “Wok” and anti -Semitic perspectives.
According to Garber, the university has made changes to the fight against anti -Semitism. But Harvard, he said, will not deviate from his “core protected principles” even after receiving the federal ultimatum.
The management of Trump has also taken steps to hold back the federal financing of Harvard and other elite universities, the requirements of the White House in connection with protests, approvals, settings and much more on the campus. Harvard’s 53 -billion dollar foundation enables him to survive the loss of financing for a time, although Garber has warned of “difficult decisions and victims”.
But the performance of students and guest scientists could reduce research and the global reputation of the university.
