Trump’s ban on Harvard’s ability to enroll international students may affect the Nieman Fellowship

The Trump administration’s decision to revoke Harvard University’s ability to host international students could affect noncitizens accepted into the university’s prestigious fellowship for professional journalists.

The Nieman Fellowship, hosted by Harvard’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism, is a one-year program that accepts media professionals from around the world. Each year, up to 24 journalists — roughly half of whom are international — are accepted into the program and given the chance to take classes at Harvard and participate in foundation events. But the Trump administration’s actions against Harvard puts those international fellows in jeopardy as it directly targets the visas they use to enter the country and participate in the fellowship.
