The efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to prevent Harvard University from enrolling international students have struck at the core of the Ivy League school’s identity and unsettled current and prospect students around the world. The government last week told Harvard’s thousands of current foreign students that they must transfer to other schools or they will lose their legal permission to be in the U.S. That decision is currently on hold, a federal judge ruled Friday, pending a lawsuit. Harvard 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.
