SHOTLIST: BOSTON, UNITED STATES (MAY 29, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. GRADUATION CEREMONY SCRIPT Harvard University students held a commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 29, in Harvard Yard just days after the Trump administration attempted to block the school from admitting international students. Earlier, a federal judge extended a temporary order blocking the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University's certification to enroll international students, according to reports. The decision came after the Trump administration gave Harvard 30 days on Thursday to challenge the government’s move to ban the school from enrolling international students. In a notice filed Wednesday by the SEVP, DHS said the university “failed” to comply with federal regulatory requirements and provided “insufficient” responses to multiple requests for information about student misconduct. It alleges Harvard failed “to maintain a campus environment free from violence and antisemitism,” referencing a report that Jewish students faced “pervasive insults, physical assault, and intimidation, with no meaningful response from Harvard University’s leadership.” Additionally, the filing states that Harvard's alleged engagements with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and “foreign entities adverse to national security” raise “serious concerns.” It notes the university hosted members of a CCP-linked group “complicit in the Uyghur genocide” and conducted joint research “using U.S. Department of Defense funds.” Failure by Harvard to respond will “bar an appeal” to the ban of the school from enrolling international students, according to the filing. Harvard has denied the allegations. US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Harvard should cap foreign student admissions at 15%, calling some international students “troublemakers” and “radical people.”
