‘Panic and confusion’ for Canadians at Harvard after Trump bans foreign students
- The Trump administration banned Harvard University from registering international students in 2025, causing panic among its international student body at the university in the United States.
- This ban resulted from the administration's accusations that Harvard maintained an unsafe campus and discriminated unfairly against Jewish people, prompting a legal dispute that Harvard brought to federal court.
- The students, including Leo Gerdén and others, expressed feelings of dehumanization and exploitation amid visa uncertainties while fearing loss of legal status and unfair treatment due to political conflict.
- The federal court temporarily blocked the ban on a Friday, and student representatives like Abdullah Shahid Sial stressed that Harvard attracts top global talent and criticized the unfair treatment of these students.
- The case highlights tensions between government policy and university autonomy, with potential impacts on thousands of students and wider implications for the country’s educational and international standing.
