On Monday, ICE announced that international students will not be allowed to stay in the country if they attend institutions, like Harvard, that are holding courses online this fall. (1/6)

“As a university with a profound commitment to residential education, we hope and intend to resume full in-person instruction as soon as it is safe and responsible to do so…” (2/6)

“But, until that time comes, we will not stand by to see our international students’ dreams extinguished by a deeply misguided order. We owe it to them to stand up and to fight—and we will.” - President Bacow (3/6)

Harvard and MIT have filed pleadings in the US District Court in Boston seeking a temporary restraining order prohibiting enforcement of the ICE order. (4/6)

“We will pursue this case vigorously so that our international students—and international students at institutions across the country—can continue their studies without the threat of deportation.” - President Bacow (5/6)
