The Trump administration’s now-paused revocation of Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students raises significant questions about how a ban would impact the school community and its academic research.

A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's plan to strip Harvard University of its ability to enrol foreign students. The ruling came after Harvard filed a lawsuit - the latest escalation of a dispute between the White House and one of America's most prestigious institutions.

According to Reuters, the Trump administration's attempt to stop Harvard University from accepting overseas students has been temporarily halted by a U.S. federal judge. Only hours after Harvard complained in a federal court in Boston that the action was a "blatant violation" of the U.S. Constitution and other federal laws, the decision was made.
