Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem says Trump is considering to broaden his ban on Harvard enrolling international students to other universities as well in an escalating row with the academic world about antisemitism and pro-CCP currents.
Trump today revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, effective immediately.
This action, led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, terminated Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which allows universities to issue F-1 and J-1 visas for foreign students.
As a result, Harvard can no longer admit new international students, and its nearly 6,800 current international students—comprising about 27% of its student body—must transfer to other institutions or risk losing their legal status in the U.S.
The decision stems from an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard, primarily over allegations that the university fosters antisemitism, violence, and anti-Americanism on campus, as well as claims of coordination with the Chinese Communist Party.
