Yale joins 47 US universities backing Harvard lawsuit to protect international student visas nationwide appeal

Yale University has joined 47 other US colleges and universities in filing an amicus brief supporting Harvard in a federal appeals case over international student visas. The brief urges the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to uphold an injunction allowing Harvard to continue hosting foreign students. According to Yale News, the institutions argue that cancelling visa programmes disrupts research, worsens labour shortages and threatens US leadership in science, medicine and innovation.
