Harvard University has said that the Department of Homeland Security’s move to revoke its ability to enrol international students is “unlawful” retaliatory action that threatens serious harm to the university.
In a statement, the university said: “The government’s action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining its ability to host international students and scholars from more than 140 countries and enrich the university. This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission.”
The move comes after Harvard refused to provide information homeland security secretary Kristi Noem had previously demanded about some foreign student visa holders who attend the university, the DHS said.
It marks a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s campaign against the elite Ivy League university, which has emerged as one of Trump’s most prominent institutional targets.
