President Trump has restricted foreign student visas at Harvard University, an action that takes place amid an ongoing battle between the Trump administration and the Ivy League school.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdmission into the United States to attend, conduct research, or teach at our Nation\u2019s institutions of higher education is a privilege granted by our Government, not a guarantee,\u201d Trump said in a Wednesday proclamation restricting the visas<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat privilege is necessarily tied to the host institution\u2019s compliance and commitment to following Federal law. Harvard University has failed in this respect, among many others,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n According to a White House fact sheet, new Harvard students cannot come into the U.S. via three types of visas<\/a> as nonimmigrants, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is ordered to look into the revoking of visas of current international students due to the proclamation.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Harvard moved for a conclusive decision from a federal judge to\u00a0unfreeze close<\/a>\u00a0to $2.5 billion in federal funds that Trump\u2019s administration pulled from the school. The university filed a request for summary judgment, meaning the judge would make a decision and there would be no full trial.<\/p>\n \u201cThe necessity of an injunction is demonstrated by the Government\u2019s continued attempt to punish Harvard\u2019s during the pendency of this case by whatever mechanisms it can,\u201d Harvard\u2019s lawyers wrote in the previous filing.<\/p>\n
