Harvard, University of Toronto make contingency plan to allow foreign students to study if barred from US

Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of Toronto, has developed a backup plan for certain international Harvard graduate students. This plan would enable them to continue their studies in Canada should the U.S. government’s proposed visa restrictions, which would prevent them from returning to the U.S., be approved by the courts.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security acted to revoke Harvard’s authority to admit international students. This action followed allegations that the university had not complied with requests for detailed records about student visa holders’ activities. The desired records included video footage of non-criminal protest activities involving these students, as well as disciplinary records from the past five years.

A federal judge has since blocked the government’s effort to end the university’s visa program.

Over the past five years, more than 50% of Kennedy students have come from outside the U.S., the school’s media office said.

According to the Harvard International Office’s website, the university currently has 739 students from 92 different countries enrolled in programs that focus on nurturing leadership in public policy and governance.
