Trump blocks Harvard's ability to enrol international students
Briefly

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's certification for enrolling international students. This action is in response to the university's failure to comply with Trump's demands and is based on accusations of fostering violence, antisemitism, and collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party. As a result, Harvard cannot accept new international students, and existing students will need to transfer to maintain their non-immigrant status. Harvard is currently pursuing legal action against the administration, emphasizing the contention surrounding federal funding and diversity initiatives.
The Trump administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.
It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enrol foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments.
The move means that not only will Harvard not be able to accept foreign students on its campus, but current students will need to transfer.
The action represents an escalation amid a wider standoff between the university and the Trump administration.
