Read Original Source
Yonas Nuguse believed he was finally destined for Harvard University this year after having survived the Tigray conflict at home in Ethiopia, communication shutdowns, and the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which delayed his dream of finishing high school on time. However, the Trump administration recently barred the Ivy League school from enrolling international students, saying current students must transfer to other schools or leave the country.
