US EditionTrump administration renews pressure on Harvard over foreign students, accreditation
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 13 – The subpoenas demand records on foreign students' visa compliance and alleged misconduct dating back to 2020 amid a $3.3 billion federal funding freeze, officials said.
- On July 9, 2025, the federal agency responsible for homeland security issued subpoenas to Harvard University, requesting records related to the institution’s Student Visitor and Exchange Program dating back to 2020.
- The subpoenas followed Harvard’s repeated refusal to comply with non-coercive requests for information about foreign students' alleged visa abuses and misconduct since April 2025.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated that Harvard’s refusal forces the department to act ‘‘the hard way’’ and accused the university of allowing violations including advocacy of violence on campus.
- Secretary Kristi Noem said, ‘‘We tried to do things the easy way with Harvard,’’ and warned other universities to consider consequences of noncompliance with federal requests.
- Harvard affirmed its commitment to lawful cooperation and protecting its community, while the administration’s actions signal ongoing pressure on elite universities accused of politicized policies and antisemitism.
