US EditionTrump administration renews pressure on Harvard over foreign students, accreditation
MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 10 – The Department of Homeland Security demands records on foreign student misconduct amid allegations of visa abuse and campus unrest involving 27% of Harvard's student body, officials said.
- The Department of Homeland Security issued subpoenas to Harvard University on Wednesday demanding records related to foreign students and its Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification.
- Following repeated refusals by Harvard to provide SEVP records, DHS issued subpoenas seeking documents from January 1, 2020, to enforce immigration law compliance.
- DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated subpoenas demand records, communications, and documents related to immigration laws since January 1, 2020, after Harvard's repeated refusals.
- Losing SEVP certification could cut off federal aid for a quarter of Harvard students, threatening enrollment and campus operations, with the administration warning of significant consequences.
- Legal experts warn that if upheld, the Harvard case could set a nationwide precedent, potentially chilling academic freedom, with a hearing scheduled for July 21.
