U.S. District Court Judge Allison Burroughs said Thursday that she will tell the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department not to make any changes to Harvard's student visa program.

CNN reported Burrough's decision from a Boston courtroom as the details were still being hashed out in court.

'I want to maintain the status quo,' the judge said.

She told Harvard and Justice Department attorneys to work out an agreement that would stop the revocation of foreign student visas.

'It doesn’t need to be draconian, but I want to make sure it’s worded in such a way that nothing changes,' Burroughs said.
