Harvard University and the University of Toronto have established a contingency plan to support select Harvard graduate students who may face difficulties re-entering the United States due to visa restrictions. This arrangement allows these students to continue their studies in Canada, with Harvard students receiving Canadian permits as part of the agreement. The plan comes amid ongoing tensions between American higher education institutions and the Trump administration, which has introduced stricter visa policies affecting international students. The universities are reportedly preparing to challenge the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in court over these visa issues. Additionally, the University of Toronto has attracted several U.S. professors during this period of uncertainty in American academia.
