Harvard Given 30 Days to Contest End of Foreign Student Enrollment

The Trump administration on May 29 backed away from plans to immediately revoke Harvard University's ability to enroll international students and would instead give it 30 days to contest those plans through a lengthier administrative process.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent Harvard a notice of intent to withdraw the school's certification under a federal program to enroll non-US students.

The Justice Department filed the notice in court ahead of a hearing before US District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston over whether to extend a temporary order blocking President Donald Trump's administration from revoking the Ivy League school's right to host international students.

Citing the potential for Harvard and its students to be harmed if the administration reverted to its earlier plans, Judge Burroughs at that hearing said she planned to issue a broad preliminary injunction preserving the status quo while the newly announced administrative process plays out.
