Harvard President's deep message as Trump Govt blocks the entries of foreign students: 'Will do the best to ensure ...' | Today news

A day after the Donald Trump administration revoked the authority of Harvard University to enroll foreign students, his president Alan Garber issued a deep explanation for such students. In a statement released on Friday, Garber also condemned the ‘illegal and unjustified’ actions of the Trump administration, saying that it placed the future of thousands and scholars across Harvard University. “We condemn this illegal and unjustified action. This is the future of thousands of students and scholars across Harvard and serves as a warning to countless others at colleges and universities throughout the country who came to America to pursue their education and realize their dreams,” he said. The Harvard president called the foreign students through Thursday’s actions “important members” of the school’s community, and said the university would support them. “Know that your international students and scholars affected by yesterday’s actions know that you are important members of our community. You are our classmates and friends, our colleagues and mentors, our partners in the work of this wonderful institution,” his statement says. “Thanks to You we know more and understand more, and our country and our world are more relieved and more resilient. We will support you if we do our best to ensure that Harvard remains open to the world,” he added. Harvard University is suing Donald Trump administration earlier Friday, the University of Harvard has sued the Trump administration over his decision to recall the Ivy League School’s ability to enroll foreign students. In his statement, Alan Garber addressed the development, saying that they would push a motion for a temporary restriction order. “We have just filed a complaint, and a motion for a temporary restriction order will follow. While we are pursuing legal resources, we will do everything in our power to support our students and scholars. The Harvard International Office will provide periodic updates as new information becomes available,” Garber said. In a complaint filed in the Boston Federal Court, Harvard calls the recall a ‘blatant offense’ of the US Constitution and other federal laws, and has had an ‘immediate and devastating effect’ at the university and more than 7,000 visa holders. “With the stroke of a pen, the government tried to eradicate a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the university and its mission,” Harvard said. “Without his international students, Harvard is not Harvard,” the 389-year-old school added.
