University of Toronto agrees to host Harvard students facing Trump visa restrictions

TORONTO, June 26 (Reuters) - Harvard University and the University of Toronto have unveiled a contingency plan that would allow select Harvard graduate students to continue their studies in Canada if U.S. visa restrictions prevent them from re-entering the United States.

It is the first international student backup strategy announced since the U.S. Department of Homeland Security moved last month to strip Harvard of its ability to enroll international students. A federal judge has since blocked the government's move.

In response to potential U.S. visa challenges, students at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government who are unable to return to the United States will have the option to continue their studies through a visiting student program at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.
