HARVARD UNIVERSITY VS Donald Trump: US President Donald Trump has suffered a major setback. The US court has stayed the Trump administration’s order banning the admission of foreign students to Harvard University. Earlier, two lawsuits were filed by Harvard objecting to the matter.
In a complaint filed in a Boston court on Friday (May 23, 2025), Harvard said that banning the admission of foreign students is a clear violation of the US Constitution and other federal laws, and it will have an immediate and very bad effect on the university and more than 7,000 visa holders. Harvard said, “With the stroke of a pen, the government has tried to eliminate a quarter of Harvard’s student population, who are international students and who make a significant contribution to the university and its mission.”
The court imposed a temporary ban
Harvard, one of the oldest universities in the world, said, “Harvard is not Harvard without international students.” US District Judge Alison Burroughs, appointed by Democratic former President Barack Obama, issued an order imposing a temporary ban on this policy. Harvard has lodged a strong protest against Trump. The university had earlier filed a lawsuit to restore the nearly 3 billion dollars it was receiving. This too was stopped by the Trump administration.
Donald Trump got the support of these people
Meanwhile, law firms like Paul, Weiss and Skadden Arps stood in support of Trump and agreed to provide legal services for free. In a statement before Burroughs’ decision, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson dismissed the lawsuit. Jackson said, “If Harvard cared so much about ending the scourge of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators on their campus, they would not have been in this situation from the beginning.” She further said, “Harvard should spend its time and resources on creating a safe campus environment, not filing frivolous lawsuits.”
