The Trump administration has been engaging in a multi-front war against Harvard University, which has been a significant concern for international students and academic institutions worldwide. The conflict began with the administration revoking Harvard's right to enroll foreign students, forcing them to transfer to other universities to maintain their visa status. This decision was made via Homeland Security and was part of a broader strategy that included canceling $100 million in contracts with the school and threatening to revoke its tax-free status. The administration also posted on social media about shifting $3 billion in federal research grants from Harvard to 'TRADE SCHOOLS across the land.' Harvard President Alan Garber criticized this move, stating that cutting off research funding hurts both the university and the country, as the funding is an investment in essential work designated by the federal government.
