Dans un pays historiquement consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme une nation \u00e0 l'avant-garde de l'\u00e9ducation et de l'innovation, les \u00c9tats-Unis (USA) sont en train de remodeler le visage de l'\u00e9ducation, non pas par des valeurs acad\u00e9miques, mais par un programme politique \u00e9troit. Fin mai, l'administration Trump a r\u00e9voqu\u00e9 le droit de l'universit\u00e9 de Harvard d'admettre de nouveaux \u00e9tudiants internationaux et d'accueillir ceux qui y sont d\u00e9j\u00e0. Pour les pr\u00e8s de 30 % d'\u00e9tudiants actuels de Harvard, cette d\u00e9cision signifie qu'ils sont soit forc\u00e9s de se transf\u00e9rer, soit de quitter le pays. Un porte-parole de Harvard a qualifi\u00e9 cette d\u00e9cision d'ill\u00e9gale et a r\u00e9affirm\u00e9 la position de l'universit\u00e9 en d\u00e9clarant :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab Nous sommes pleinement engag\u00e9s \u00e0 maintenir la capacit\u00e9 de Harvard \u00e0 accueillir nos \u00e9tudiants et chercheurs internationaux, qui viennent de plus de 140 pays et qui enrichissent l\u2019universit\u00e9 \u2013 et cette nation \u2013 sans fin. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L'universit\u00e9 de Harvard a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le important et de longue date dans l'histoire. Fond\u00e9e en 1636, Harvard pr\u00e9c\u00e8de la fondation des \u00c9tats-Unis de plus de 140 ans. L'universit\u00e9 a eu un r\u00f4le central dans la formation de la sc\u00e8ne intellectuelle am\u00e9ricaine, en mettant l'accent sur l'enseignement professionnel et la recherche scientifique. Elle est reconnue pour son influence et son vaste r\u00e9seau d'anciens \u00e9l\u00e8ves, avec des noms notables tels que John F. Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg et Barack Obama. Au cours de cette ann\u00e9e universitaire (2024-2025), Harvard compte 24 596 \u00e9tudiants inscrits. Parmi eux, 6 793 sont des \u00e9tudiants internationaux, ce qui signifie que les \u00e9tudiants internationaux repr\u00e9sentent 27,2 % du corps \u00e9tudiant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le droit \u00e0 l'\u00e9ducation, la libert\u00e9 acad\u00e9mique et la non-discrimination<\/strong> La r\u00e9vocation de ce droit ne concerne pas seulement l'accessibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9ducation, mais aussi la non-discrimination. La d\u00e9cision prise par l'administration de droite vise au plus haut point les non-Am\u00e9ricains, ce qui r\u00e9v\u00e8le une forme de discrimination fond\u00e9e sur la nationalit\u00e9. Cela marque un recul par rapport aux principes de la coop\u00e9ration internationale et des \u00e9changes universitaires. Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'une question d'allocation de ressources ; cette interdiction est un outil de contr\u00f4le. Ce qui est r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9, c'est un programme anti-mondialiste, protectionniste et discriminatoire masqu\u00e9 sous le slogan \u00ab America First \u00bb (L'Am\u00e9rique d'abord), sugg\u00e9rant d'une certaine mani\u00e8re que les Am\u00e9ricains s'en porteront infiniment mieux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Une menace pour la d\u00e9mocratie<\/strong> Le retrait n'est pas qu'une simple question de politique \u00e9ducative ; il repr\u00e9sente une menace pour les droits fondamentaux, l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 acad\u00e9mique et les fondements de la d\u00e9mocratie. L'ASSEDEL est solidaire des milliers d'\u00e9tudiants affect\u00e9s par cette d\u00e9cision et exhorte l'universit\u00e9 de Harvard \u00e0 rester in\u00e9branlable face \u00e0 l'\u00e9rosion d\u00e9mocratique, en d\u00e9fendant nos droits humains universels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources: <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a country historically regarded as a leading nation of education and innovation, the United States (US) is now reshaping the face…<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,96],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7168","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-opinion-eng","8":"category-opinionfr"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44.png",2000,1013,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-300x152.png",300,152,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-768x389.png",768,389,true],"large":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-1024x519.png",1024,519,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-1536x778.png",1536,778,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44.png",2000,1013,false],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-18x9.png",18,9,true],"inhype-blog-thumb":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-1140x694.png",1140,694,true],"inhype-blog-thumb-grid":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-555x360.png",555,360,true],"inhype-blog-thumb-widget":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-220x180.png",220,180,true],"inhype-blog-thumb-masonry":["https:\/\/assedel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/WEBPAGE-COVER-TO-USE-44-360x182.png",360,182,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"assedel","author_link":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/author\/assedel\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"In a country historically regarded as a leading nation of education and innovation, the United States (US) is now reshaping the face...","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7168"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7170,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7168\/revisions\/7170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assedel.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) affirms that everyone has the right to education and that higher education should be accessible to all based on merit. Denying student visas to qualified individuals is therefore not just a policy decision but a Human Rights issue. This right is now being undermined by the government\u2019s attempts to put a stop to foreign students\u2019 access to Harvard. Furthermore, it threatens the integrity of the educational system as a whole. The potential consequences? Loss of academic Freedom, international collaboration wearing away and the neglect of global research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Democracies depend on legal stability and predictability and can\u2019t be subject to erratic political shifts. Institutions like Harvard must remain independent regardless of the prevailing political tides. This independence is undermined by sudden policy changes made by currents of political power. By allowing institutions to be undermined, the risk of authoritarianism drawing closer increases significantly, all while putting fundamental Human Rights at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
