Celebrate the Courts Protecting International Students

A big win for academic freedom and international students! 

A federal judge has extended the pause on the Trump administration’s effort to block Harvard University from enrolling international students — a move that threatened the futures of thousands of scholars from around the world. The court’s decision protects not only Harvard’s right to make its own academic decisions, but also the ability of international students to study, research, and thrive in the U.S. It’s a powerful stand against political overreach and for the values of openness and global collaboration. 

This is a critical moment for freedom in higher education. 

Add your name to celebrate this court victory and stand with the students, educators, and institutions defending academic independence and inclusion.
