Harvard University and the University of Toronto have revealed a contingency plan that would allow select international Harvard graduate students to continue their education in Canada if the Trump administration’s plan to impose U.S. visa restrictions and prevent them from re-entering the U.S. is upheld by the courts.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security moved last month to terminate Harvard’s ability to enroll international students after the university allegedly failed to provide extensive behavioral records of student visa holders the agency had requested, including footage of protest activity involving student visa holders, even if it’s not criminal, and the disciplinary records of all student visa holders in the past five years.

A federal judge has since blocked the government’s effort to end the university’s visa program.

Over the past five years, more than 50% of Kennedy students have come from outside the U.S., the school’s media office said.

A total of 739 students from 92 countries in programs aimed at developing leadership in public policy and government are enrolled at the school, according to the Harvard International Office website.

Reuters contributed to this report.
