Supreme Court Set to Weigh Harvard's Fight Against DHS Foreign Student Ban Ban
Harvard University's lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over the ban on foreign students at the Ivy League school could be heading to the Supreme Court, potentially reviving questions about conflict of interest. The case may further complicate the court's stance on issues related to academic freedom and diversity.
Harvard University's lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over its plan to ban foreign students at the Ivy League school is moving forward, potentially taking the case to the Supreme Court and raising fresh questions about conflicts of interest among justices who have ties to institutions they may be deciding on cases involving. The case could further expose concerns about justices' relationships with private companies and universities, which have raised eyebrows in the past. Harvard's lawsuit argues that DHS's ban would unfairly discriminate against international students and infringe on their civil liberties. A decision by the Supreme Court could potentially impact similar lawsuits filed by other universities and private companies seeking similar protections.
