特朗普政府22日發布新規,哈佛大學被禁止招收國際學生。此外,現有的外國學生須轉學,否則將失去合法身份,此舉引發輿論爭議。
據路透社報道,比利時王位第一順位繼承人伊麗莎白公主或因上述政策無法繼續學業。
這位23歲的比利時未來女王剛剛完成哈佛大學第一年學業。
Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has just completed her first year at Harvard University but the ban imposed by US President Donald Trump's administration on foreign students studying there could jeopardize her continued studies.
The Trump administration revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students on Thursday, and is forcing current foreign students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status in the US.

“伊麗莎白公主剛結束在哈佛的第一年學業,美國政府新規的影響會在未來幾日或幾周逐漸明朗,我們正在調查情況。”比利時王室發言人范多恩證實。
"Princess Elisabeth has just completed her first year. The impact of (the Trump administration's) decision will only become clearer in the coming days/weeks. We are currently investigating the situation," the Belgian Royal Palace's spokesperson Lore Vandoorne said.
比利時王室通訊主管貝爾特補充稱:“目前正研判該問題,將會解決此事(let things settle)。未來幾天和幾周還可能發生很多事。”
路透社稱,伊麗莎白公主作為比利時菲利普國王與瑪蒂爾德王后的長女,將成為該國歷史上首位女王。
她目前正在哈佛大學攻讀公共政策專業碩士學位。據校方介紹,該兩年制學位旨在拓展學生視野,培養學生“公共服務領域”方面的技能。此前,她已獲得英國牛津大學歷史與政治學學位。
Elisabeth is studying Public Policy at Harvard, a two-year master's degree program that according to the university's website broadens students' perspectives and sharpens their skills for "successful career in public service".
針對特朗普政府上述措施,哈佛大學校長艾倫·M·加伯23日在致哈佛社區成員的一封信中寫道:“我們譴責這一非法且不當的行為。這一行為危及哈佛大學數千名學生和學者的未來,也給全美各地高校眾多赴美求學、追求夢想的學子敲響了警鐘。”加伯表示,哈佛大學已經正式提起訴訟,并將隨即提交臨時限制令動議。在尋求法律救濟的同時,校方將竭盡所能為師生學者提供支持。
"We condemn this unlawful and unwarranted action. It imperils the futures of thousands of students and scholars across Harvard and serves as a warning to countless others at colleges and universities throughout the country who have come to America to pursue their education and fulfill their dreams."
與此同時,美國馬薩諸塞州聯邦地區法院一名法官5月23日對特朗普政府禁止哈佛大學招收國際學生的政策發出臨時限制令,要求在舉行聽證會之前“維持現狀”。
