The Trump administration has exerted pressure on universities, particularly targeting Harvard amidst accusations of fostering anti-semitism and collaborating with Chinese influence. Homeland Security's Secretary Kristi Noem has ordered the termination of Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, which could threaten hundreds of foreign students' enrollment statuses. In stark contrast, while Columbia capitulated to similar threats about funding, Harvard has moved to legally challenge the freezing of its federal funds, thus indicating a brewing confrontation between academia and the federal government over educational freedoms and ethical governance.
The Trump administration applied pressure on Harvard over its international student program, citing allegations of anti-semitism and violence, while threatening federal funding.
Homeland Security's threats exemplify a tactic of collective punishment, holding universities accountable for actions they might not directly control.
