Trump visa ban: impact on harvard & international students

Trulli

The Trump administration has taken away Harvard University’s right to enroll international students. This major decision was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and affects about 6,800 international students—more than 25% of Harvard’s student body. These students now face the risk of losing their legal right to stay in the U.S.

Why Did This Happen?

The government says Harvard failed to share requested information about its international students. According to Secretary Noem, Harvard is creating an unsafe environment for Jewish students, supporting pro-Hamas views, and following unfair diversity and inclusion policies.

What Did the Government Do?

The government removed Harvard from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Without this certification:

  • Harvard cannot accept new international students.
  • Current international students must transfer to another school or leave the country unless they are graduating this semester.

Can Harvard Fix This?

Yes. The government said Harvard can get back its SEVP status if, within 72 hours, it submits:

  • Disciplinary records of international students
  • Any audio or video recordings of student protests

How Has Harvard Responded?

Harvard strongly disagrees with the government’s action, calling it unlawful and harmful to education and research. The university is helping affected students and may take legal steps.

Is This Normal?

No. Experts say this kind of punishment is extremely rare. SEVP status is usually revoked only for paperwork issues—not for political reasons.

Is This Part of a Bigger Pattern?

Yes. The Trump administration has already:

  • Cut billions in research funding to Harvard
  • Publicly criticized its leaders
    This move is seen as part of a wider conflict with top U.S. universities, especially those that disagree with the administration’s views.

How Are Students Feeling?

Many students are scared and confused. One student said, “It’s the greatest honor to study here—this is heartbreaking.”

Can the Government Do This Legally?

Yes. The Department of Homeland Security has the power to approve or remove universities from the SEVP program. But legal experts believe the decision might be challenged in court.

Could Other Universities Be Affected?

Yes. Noem warned that other schools, like Columbia University, might face similar actions if they don’t follow the government’s expectations.

How Will This Impact Harvard?

Losing international students could hurt Harvard financially, as they pay full tuition. Plus, the loss of research funding is another major blow.

What Do Critics Say?

Critics believe this decision is politically motivated. Ted Mitchell from the American Council on Education called it “illegal and narrow-minded.” A Harvard student group said it shows signs of authoritarian control.

What’s Next?

Harvard has sued the government before and may do so again. Legal experts say the courts might step in if the government didn’t follow the proper legal process for this decision.
