Harvard University has got an interim relief of 30 days in the ban on admission of foreign students.
The Federal Court has currently stayed the decision of US President Donald Trump’s administration to end the eligibility of Harvard to end the eligibility to enroll foreign students.
The issue was heard on Thursday, in which the court ruled that the university may continue the enrollment of the students at present.
Harvard had said that if he was not allowed to admit foreign students, then about 25% of the university students will be affected.
The university lawyers said in the court that this decision was suddenly taken and taken without any legal process, while according to the rules it is necessary to give the reason to the department and give 30 days time.
What is the matter?
The Trump administration accused Harvard of promoting Jewish protests on the campus and coordinating with the Communist Party of China. It was also alleged that the university has created an atmosphere to provoke the ideology of the students. “Harvard will have to remain under discipline,” Trump said at the Oval Office on Wednesday. He should limit the number of foreign students to 15%. “
What did Harvard say?
Harvard lawyers argued in the court that this decision of the Trump administration is full of revenge action, which directly attacks the university’s academic freedom and freedom of expression.
The lawyers said that this decision is a violation of federal rules, as the department suddenly canceled the certification without giving any concrete reasons.
Funds also threatened the university
This is not the only case in which Harvard Trump has clashed with administration. The university is already entangled in another lawsuit, in which the administration has decided to shut down the university’s $ 3 billion Federal Research Fund. The university says that all these actions are inspired by political revenge.
