Harvard University has initiated legal action against the Trump administration following the Department of Homeland Security's revocation of its authority to enroll international students. Harvard characterized the move as unconstitutional and detrimental, affecting over 7,000 visa holders. The university asserts this action is retaliation for its First Amendment rights, particularly after rejecting government oversight of its admissions and faculty. Homeland Security's Secretary Kristi Noem cited concerns about a hostile campus environment toward Jewish students as part of the justification for the revocation, which has sparked significant controversy.
"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."
"It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government's demands to control Harvard's governance, curriculum, and the 'ideology' of its faculty and students."
