Indian Students at Harvard: Navigating Uncertainty Amid Trump Era Policies
- The Trump administration targeted Harvard University by freezing $2.2 billion in grants and restricting international student enrollment, causing uncertainty for Indian students.
- These actions followed allegations from the Department of Homeland Security that Harvard created an unsafe environment and resisted requests for information on foreign students.
- Indian students at Harvard face job market difficulties, visa instability, and anxiety about their future, with many unsure if they will remain in the US or return home.
- Visas are increasingly denied, with a 41% rejection rate between 2023 and 2024, and student visa appointment suspensions heighten the pressure on applicants.
- Experts warn this uncertainty threatens the career plans of Indian students and could have lasting negative effects on the US's role as a leading education destination.
