The Department of Homeland Security has banned Harvard University from enrolling international students, citing issues around antisemitism and political tensions. This decision follows a letter from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, expressing concerns about the university's environment for Jewish students. Harvard, which has around 10,000 international students, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that these students are integral to the university’s identity and operations. The controversy also includes allegations from conservative activist Chris Rufo regarding discrimination against white men following the Supreme Court’s ruling in the SFFA case.
The United States Government understands that Harvard University relies heavily on foreign student funding from over 10,000 foreign students to build and maintain their substantial endowment.
With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard's student body, international students who contribute significantly to the university and its mission.
The lawsuit stated that international students are crucial for Harvard's identity: Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard.
Concerns were raised by conservative activist Chris Rufo about alleged discrimination against white men despite the Supreme Court ruling in SFFA v. Harvard.
