The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll new international students, affecting 6,800 students who must transfer to another institution to retain their legal status in the U.S. Secretary Kristi Noem cited unacceptable behaviors such as violence and antisemitism and alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party as the basis for this decision. The move marks an escalation in tensions attributed to Harvard's handling of protests against Israel and the administration's criticism of the university's policies on diversity and inclusion.
"The revocation of Harvard's SEVP certification means that current foreign students must transfer to avoid losing their legal status, amidst rising tensions between the university and the Trump administration."
"Homeland Security Secretary Noem cited concerns about violence and antisemitism at Harvard, as well as alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party, as reasons for this drastic measure."
