The administration’s latest move is the effort to bar Harvard from enrolling international students, by revoking the school’s certification in the government program that allows noncitizens to study in the U.S. under student visas.
That decision started with a letter that arrived at Harvard’s international office on April 16 from the federal government. It was like nothing university officials had seen in over 70 years of hosting foreign students, Harvard said in a court filing.
In it, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said enrolling foreign students is a privilege, not a guarantee. The university was at risk of losing that privilege, she said, because it had created a hostile learning environment for Jewish students.
She requested Harvard send eight detailed pieces of information on all its students on visas. Among them: any examples of “known deprivation of rights of other classmates or university personnel” by visa holders, and whether any had left Harvard “due to dangerous or violent activity.” Noem asked about threats and illegal activity made by students and whether foreign students had ever obstructed the school’s learning environment.
Harvard had 10 business days to come up with the information, Noem said, or the government would revoke the university’s ability to enroll international students.
On the day of the deadline, Harvard sent DHS thousands of pages of documents, including enrollment records and any visa cancellations from its foreign students.
That same day, April 30, Trump said at a public cabinet meeting that Harvard didn’t deserve federal grant money, claiming that “the students they have, the professors they have, the attitude they have, is not American.”
Pressure was building on Harvard on other fronts. Trump said on social media that the university’s tax-exempt status would be taken away. Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent Harvard a letter on May 5 telling it not to bother applying for federal grants in the future, because none would be provided.
On May 7, a Homeland Security lawyer told Harvard the information it provided on visa holders wasn’t enough. The lawyer reiterated four of the original eight categories of information DHS had requested, including any known illegal activity, threats to other students and deprivation of others’ rights by international students. This time, Harvard had a week to respond.
On the deadline day, Harvard sent information on three students under visas who had faced disciplinary action for drinking or other violations.
A week of uneasy silence followed.
Then, Thursday’s missive dropped, telling Harvard that its ability to enroll foreign students had been revoked immediately. “This action should not surprise you and is the unfortunate result of Harvard’s failure to comply with simple reporting requirements,” Noem wrote. Harvard had refused to supply required information and ignored a follow-up request, DHS said.
The move, Noem explained, would “send a clear signal to Harvard and all universities that want to enjoy the privilege of enrolling foreign students, that the Trump Administration will enforce the law and root out the evils of anti-Americanism and antisemitism in society and campuses.”
The government gave Harvard 72 hours to produce more information.
