Core Viewpoint - The Trump administration has suspended Harvard University's eligibility to enroll international students, requiring current foreign students to transfer or risk losing their legal status [1][5][6]. Group 1: Impact on Harvard University - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revoked Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, preventing the university from enrolling any international students for the 2025-2026 academic year [5][6]. - Approximately 6,800 international students currently enrolled at Harvard represent 27% of the total student body, a significant increase from 19.6% in 2006 [8][9]. - Harvard's response to the DHS action is that it is illegal, and the university is committed to maintaining its ability to enroll international students from over 140 countries [10][11]. Group 2: Broader Implications for Higher Education - The Trump administration's actions against Harvard reflect a broader conflict with elite universities, leading to financial pressures and potential enrollment declines at other institutions like MIT and Columbia University [4][12][15]. - MIT is facing financial challenges and has announced plans to reduce graduate student admissions by 8% due to federal funding cuts [15]. - Columbia University has seen a significant drop in applications, attributed to concerns over campus unrest and the Trump administration's scrutiny, resulting in a loss of approximately $400 million in federal research funding [16][17].
