Lawyers for Harvard University asked a federal judge on 12 June to reinforce her earlier order blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to bar the Ivy League school from enrolling foreign students while their lawsuit proceeds. The request seeks to ensure that Harvard’s authority to admit and host international students remains intact during the litigation. Harvard and the administration have submitted competing proposals for a preliminary injunction, diverging on the scope and duration of any temporary protections. The dispute stems from a directive that followed White House criticism of Harvard’s handling of campus antisemitism and scrutiny of the university’s $53.8 billion endowment. The confrontation is part of a broader federal campaign to exert greater control over elite universities. The Education Department has withheld some funding, and U.S. visa revocations for Chinese STEM students have intensified, raising alarm among prospective international applicants. Fallout from the case is spreading to the legal industry. As many as seven partners are leaving Willkie Farr & Gallagher—whose work with the administration has drawn criticism—to join Cooley LLP, one of the firms leading Harvard’s defense, illustrating the reputational risks of siding with the government in the high-profile clash.
