The move could significantly affect the university, which enrolls about 7,000 international students, most of them in graduate programs. Those students may now have to scramble to figure out their next steps.The Department of Homeland Security took this latest step because Harvard failed to comply fully with requests to produce records about its foreign students, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a letter. Noem accused Harvard of “perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies and employs racist ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ policies.’”

Harvard said the action is unlawful and undermines the school’s research mission.Here’s what to know about how this decision affects international students and what legal authority Noem has to take the step.The U.S. government has authority over who comes into the country. The Department of Homeland Security oversees which colleges are part of the Student Exchange and Visitor Program. On Thursday, DHS said it would remove Harvard. The program allows colleges to issue documentation to foreign students admitted to their schools. The students need those documents to apply to obtain visas to study in the United States.

Harvard filed a lawsuit early Friday morning, seeking to stop the Trump administration from revoking its ability to host international students. A federal judge in Boston granted a temporary restraining order that would prevent the government’s decision from taking effect. While the order stands, Harvard’s international students can maintain their legal status, and Harvard can continue to enroll foreign students while the case proceeds.A hearing is scheduled for next week on the case.

Students who completed their degrees this semester will be allowed to graduate. Noem’s letter said the changes would take effect for the 2025-2026 school year. Harvard’s Class of 2025 is expected to graduate next week.

However, if courts uphold the government’s decision, students who have yet to complete their degree will need to transfer to another university, Noem said, or they’ll lose their legal permission to remain in the U.S.The new system of tracking elephants wearing GPS collars was launched last year by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

But worsening droughts and shrinking resources have pushed the animals to raid villages more often, destroying crops and infrastructure and sometimes injuring or killing people.
