Trump administration blocks Harvard from enrolling foreign students
ai generated text
The Trump administration revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, citing concerns over the university's alleged creation of an unsafe campus environment due to anti-American and pro-terrorist agitators, as well as antisemitism. This decision is reportedly in response to Harvard's refusal to comply with Trump's demands for oversight on admissions. The move has been met with opposition from the university, which claims it is a retaliatory action and illegal.
This means Harvard can no longer enrol foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status.
This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.
Effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor (Sevis) Programme certification is revoked.
Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.
All universities must comply with Department of Homeland Security requirements, including reporting requirements under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program regulations, to maintain this privilege.
As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' policies, you have lost this privilege.
As I explained to you in my April letter, it is a privilege to enroll foreign students.
The government's action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the University – and this nation – immeasurably.
The institution entrusted to us now faces challenges unlike any others in our long history.
