Revoking Harvard's ability to enroll international students - and telling current ones to transfer or lose legal status - is political retaliation. International students enrich our classrooms, communities and economy. This office will support Harvard should they take legal action.
Trump administration revokes Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, says thousands must transfer - The Boston Globe
The move throws foreign students’ academic futures into uncertainty just a week before graduation. International students make up approximately a quarter of Harvard’s student body.

Anecdotally, this is not an isolated incident
A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

🚨 The indefinite pause on NIH study sections & CDC public communication updates is devastating for science, public health, and our future. These decisions will have long-term consequences for research, disease prevention, and lives if they are prolonged.
