The conflict between the Trump administration and Harvard University is clear

After six months of work, in front of Shrea Mishra Redi for a few other weeks and a final educational unit standing between her and the accreditation that she was chasing for more than half of her life: Harvard’s graduate.

The last unit of the Harvard Executive Driving Program will resume on Wednesday. After that, Redy booked to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in July to end her degree personally and graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in the world – a dream she and her family shared for more than half of her life.

It is also a dream that says it cost it at least $ 90,000.

Last week, Reddy was in the middle of the work meeting at home when she saw a notification floating on her phone: The Trump administration had prevented Harvard University from accepting international students like her. She is studying an optional process training visa, which allowed her to work after the completion of the first university level at Duke University. But this visa ends in January, and although the ban was temporarily banned, the news made her feel anxious about ascending to her journey this summer.

“He was confusing and completely destroyed, reading something like this,” Reddy, 33, told CBC. As it happens In an interview from Toronto, where her husband lives.

“If we are not allowed to return to the university campus, we are not allowed to graduate … this takes away a lot.” “The study at Harvard University was not about a degree. It was much more.”

Reddy is one of the thousands of international students at Harvard University who say they are confused about their matter and they are watching a legal battle that reveals between their school and the Trump administration.

Here is the summary of the conflict.

How did the conflict start?

Last month, US Internal Security Security Minister Christie Napeon Harvard asked a set of student data last month, including the work of every international student for the course and information on any disciplinary and legal date in a student visa. Naim later sought her request to include any video clips of international students who have participated in illegal or dangerous or protest over the past five years – whether it is on the campus of Harvard University or outside.

After a few weeks from behind, Harvard University rejected part of the request. The Trump administration took revenge on the cancellation of the student and the stock exchange program at Harvard University (SEVP), which means that the university no longer has the ability to register international students.

The decision may force more than a quarter of the school registration to change schools or leave the United States.

The government also stripped the University of its Care for F and J Visaas for international students and scientists for the 2025-26 academic year.

The F-1 visa is a visa to use foreign citizens to enter the United States and attend an accredited university such as Harvard University. The J-1 visa is for people who take “approved educational and cultural exchange programs”.

Trump has already freezed several billion dollars from federal scholarships to Harvard in recent weeks, prompting the university to prosecute to restore funding. The administration accused the school of not carrying out enough to reduce anti -Semitism after the protests supporting the Palestinians that have appeared in the past two years.

How did you get to the court?

Fif up a lawsuit against Harvard, the administration last Friday. She argued that the government violated the rights of the university’s first amendment to control its governance and the “ideology” of its students and its employees.

“With a stroke, the government has sought to erase a quarter of the Student Student Authority at Harvard University, and international students who contribute greatly to the university and its mission,” I read the lawsuit, which was submitted to the American District Court of Massachusetts Province. “Without its international students, Harvard University is not Harvard.”

A judge issued a temporary restriction order that blocks the Trump administration’s move later on Friday. Judge Alison d. Boroz that Harvard has shown that the ban would lead to “immediate and unlikely” damage.

This temporary restricted arrangement is still valid. Another session is scheduled in Boston on Thursday morning to determine whether this request should be extended, According to the university.

What does the temporary court order for students mean?

Since the temporary order stopped on Friday about the administration’s ban, Harvard University can continue to register international students and scientists because the legal issue is working on its way through the courts.

Harvard F-1 and J-1 visa programs were restored, according to university, so that students and scientists can move forward in their school work “without interruption.” Students already in Boston with their visas will not be canceled or terminated, so the school said they do not need to leave the country or change schools immediately.

The situation is more weakened for students who have no visas yet or found themselves outside the United States when the administration ban decreased. On its website, Harvard said that the internal students must be prepared through documents and a plan to verify friends and family members throughout their journey, so that someone can contact Harvard International Office on their behalf if they are not registered on time.

“We recommend that some of our international students and scientists have been re -presented to the country without a problem, but we also believe that every person needs to assess their risks and make the best decision for them, given their personal circumstances,” The university’s website reads.

Reddy said she hopes to show more information before her journey.

“At the present time, everything is in the air. I hope a decision will be reached soon, but in the meantime, I am not sure of what will happen.”
