'We are not Harvard without international students'
- The 389-year-old Harvard University said that with the stroke of a pen, the Trump administration has tried to wipe out a quarter of Harvard's student body. The university said that Harvard is not Harvard without its international students.
- Let us tell you that in an unprecedented decision, the Trump administration of America has revoked the eligibility of Harvard University to admit foreign students. The administration informed the university on Thursday that it has taken this step as part of the ongoing investigation in the university by the Department of Homeland Security.
- Homeland Security Minister Kristi Noem has written a letter to the university saying that its eligibility to admit international students has been abolished. This decision of the Trump administration is being seen as a growing conflict with the university, but thousands of foreign students will have to bear the brunt of it. Indian students will also be significantly affected by this move of the administration.
What will be the impact on current students?
788 Indian students in HarvardA total of 10158 students and researchers from all over the world are currently registered in Harvard schools. These also include 1203 Chinese students. According to the website of the Harvard International Office, 788 students and researchers from India are registered in all the schools under the university in 2024-2025. While Harvard Global Support Services said on its website that every year 500-800 Indian students and researchers study at Harvard.
Students who complete their degrees in the current semester will be allowed to graduate. The letter from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said these changes will be effective from the academic session 2025-2026. However, those students who have not yet completed their degrees will have to transfer to other universities. If they do not do so, they will lose their legal status to stay in the US.
