Updated 5:19 p.m. EDT<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A federal judge in Boston ruled on Monday to extend the pause on the Trump administration\u2019s order to take away Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students. Judge Allison Burroughs’s ruling, which extends her pause until June 23, builds on a decision made at the end of May after Harvard requested an emergency hearing when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it would no longer allow the school to enroll any more foreign students and that the current international ones would have to transfer. \u201cThis lawsuit seeks to kneecap the President\u2019s constitutionally vested powers under Article II. It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments,” said Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin. “The Trump administration is committed to restoring common sense to our student visa system; no lawsuit, this or any other, is going to change that. We have the law, the facts, and common sense on our side,” she added. Foreign students at Harvard, making up to 27 percent of the student body, had their lives uprooted by the Trump administration’s move. Many face complicating factors such as political conflicts in their home countries or have few options for academic transfers due to the highly specialized nature of their studies.
