Homeland Security revokes Harvard's ability to enroll international students

The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday revoked Harvard University’s certification to admit foreign students, making good on a threat by President Donald Trump and escalating his fight with the Ivy League school.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem ordered the agency to terminate Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which allows U.S. universities to admit international students, for allegedly allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist” foreigners “to harass and physically assault individuals … and obstruct its once-venerable learning environment.” The secretary also accused the university of working with the Chinese Communist Party by hosting and training members of its paramilitary group.

The decision means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and existing international students at Harvard must transfer or lose their legal status.
