Harvard Wins Reprieve, Free Speech Battle Looms
Harvard's reprieve is won, its fate now unsure, A federal judge's block gives students time to endure.
In Harvard's halls of learning high,
A battle raged, with Trump's administration nigh.
They'd revoked certification, a visa plight,
For international students, a worrisome sight.
A battle raged, with Trump's administration nigh.
They'd revoked certification, a visa plight,
For international students, a worrisome sight.
A federal judge stepped in, a restraining hand,
To block the order, and give Harvard a stand.
Thirty days to prove its worth, a test to abide,
Or risk losing certification, and its students to divide.

Kristi Noem wrote a letter, with stern intent to say,
"Harvard must comply, or face the consequences today."
A third-party audit, to check for viewpoint might,
Was demanded, to ensure Harvard's policies were in sight.

But Harvard argued, with a First Amendment cry,
Their free speech rights were being trampled, and they wouldn't deny.
They'd rejected government demands, to control their curriculum tight,
And now they faced retaliation, in the dark of night.

Aram Gavoor spoke out, with a lawyer's keen eye,
"This could be a case that reaches the Supreme Court, and won't die."
The government's authority, was strong, but not absolute, he said,
There were limits to its power, and Harvard's rights would not be dead.

Will Creeley chimed in, with a lawyer's sharp tongue,
"The administration's actions, were a clear case of viewpoint wrong."
Harvard must comply with laws, that bar prejudice and hate,
But that didn't mean the government, could dictate what they could create.

Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, an immigration attorney wise,
Said even if the visa policy, was blocked by a judge's surprise,
Trump may have won, by chilling international enrollment's might,
And Harvard's students, would self-unenroll, in the dark of night.
