Luttig and Raul Sign Amicus Brief Defending Constitutional Principles in Harvard Case

September 2, 2025

Board Members Michael Luttig and Alan Raul joined other former senior government officials in signing an amicus brief, filed by Yale Law School’s Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic, supporting Harvard’s lawsuit against President Trump’s executive order banning international students. The brief argues the proclamation is unconstitutional and undermines U.S. national security by excluding valuable global talent.

“It is the Administration’s damaging actions—not Harvard’s—that threaten U.S. national security. By preventing some of the world’s most talented students and scholars from contributing to our universities and our economy, the order weakens the very institutions that keep America competitive and secure.”
