In the most nakedly vengeful move yet to punish a private university that it cannot bring to heel, the Trump administration has barred Harvard from enrolling foreign students and told those currently enrolled that they must transfer or lose their legal status. Jody Freeman, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, wrote in her individual capacity. “I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. For this administration's pettiness.” The news spread like wildfire. Her post was widely circulated in WhatsApp groups.
“Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” said the US Department of Homeland Security in a statement.
However, United States District Judge Allison D. Burroughs temporarily blocked the Trump Administration from revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students.
