No entry

Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has been trying to restrict Harvard University from enrolling foreign students, even seeking to deport those who protest his policies.

The university, however, has stood defiant and went to court to stop Trump’s order barring the entry of foreign students.

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on 23 June halting Trump’s 4 June proclamation banning foreign would-be students from entering the US on Harvard-sponsored F and J visas, the Harvard Crimson reports.

US District Judge Allison D. Burroughs ruled that the proclamation’s basis of national security was flimsy.

Meanwhile, a Nigerian university barred the entry of students not following its dress code at the start of exams last week.

A video of gate guards at the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) in Ogun state checking women students queuing at the entrance went viral on social media. The two female guards were touching the chests of the women students before letting them in.

In the video, one female student appeared to have been removed from the queue after one of the guards touched her, CNN reports.

Student union leader Muizz Olanrewaju Olatunji said in a post on X on 17 June that OOU was enforcing its “no bra, no entry policy,” according to CNN.

Olatunji told CNN the dress code was in line with the institution’s values and was intended to maintain a respectful and distraction-free environment.

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong, however, said the no-bra policy was arbitrary, degrading, draconian, undignifying, and sexual harassment.

Effiong defended those who were not wearing a bra, saying there could be a medical explanation for it, according to CNN. He also warned that inspecting breasts may lead to legal action.
