MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell filed an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, supporting Harvard University in its lawsuit against the Trump Administration over its unlawful termination of the school’s certification to host international students as part of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). The Administration’s actions have upended the university’s ability to enroll, educate, and employ international students, who provide cultural, economic, and social benefits to the Commonwealth. “It’s clear that by revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students – and by threatening the legal status of current students – the Trump Administration is seeking political retribution against an institution that rightly refuses to give up its academic independence. I am proud to stand with Harvard against the Administration’s unlawful policies and will continue to do everything in my power to protect international students who meaningfully contribute to our communities, classrooms, and economy.” - AG Campbell
