Guess what? A judge has paused a big decision that would have affected many students from around the world ๐ who study at Harvard University! ๐
The Trump administration wanted to make a rule that would stop international students from studying at Harvard. But on Friday, a judge named Allison Burroughs said, \”Hold on!\” and put the rule on pause. ๐
Harvard University was worried because more than 27% of its students come from other countries. That’s a lot of friends from all over the globe! ๐ Over one-fifth of these international students are from China.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that making education political isn’t a good idea and could hurt the United States’ image. They want students to keep learning together. ๐ค
This isn’t the first time Harvard has taken the Trump administration to court. There’s been a lot of back-and-forth about rules and who gets to make them.
For now, international students at Harvard can breathe a sigh of relief and keep studying hard! ๐ But there’s more to come, with another court hearing set for May 29. Stay tuned!
