Analysts see 'immense' impact as Trump ratchets up pressure on Harvard

A US judge on Friday, May 23, temporarily blocked the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University's ability to enroll foreign students, a policy the White House says is a reaction to antisemitism at the Ivy League school. Harvard says the move is part of President Donald Trump's broader effort to retaliate against it for refusing to "surrender its academic independence."

The order provides temporary relief to thousands of international students who were faced with being forced to transfer under a policy that the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based university called a "blatant violation" of the US Constitution and other federal laws, and said would have an "immediate and devastating effect" on the university and more than 7,000 visa holders.
