As other prominent universities struggle with whether—and how—to please the president and avoid funding cuts, the New Haven institution’s actions received federal plaudits.

The Trump administration has restored some international student records, following nationwide terminations in April, but legal experts say there’s no guarantee that students are safe.

The reversal follows a series of court rulings that order the federal government to restore students’ status in the SEVIS database.

Attorneys argue that the Department of Homeland Security shirked due process and exceeded its authority in targeting international students.

The institution backed out of plans to host a vote and suggested graduate workers pursue the federally controlled process instead. That’s risky in the Trump era.
