Harvard University: Trump administration gives a blow, stops Harvard University from admitting foreign students

News Topical, Digital Desk : In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's eligibility to admit international students. The administration says it is using its authority to prevent Harvard University from enrolling international students.

Decision based on ongoing investigation in the university

The administration has informed the university that it is taking this step as part of an ongoing investigation into the university by the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has written a letter to the university saying that its ability to enroll international students has been terminated.

Harvard can no longer enroll international students

Kristi Noem ordered her department to end Harvard University's student and exchange visitor program. The move means Harvard can no longer enroll international students. Existing foreign students will have to relocate or lose their legal status.

"Our administration is holding Harvard accountable for promoting violence, anti-Semitism on its campus, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party," Noem said. It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and profit from their high tuition fees.

Report was sought before Harvard

Last month, Noem wrote a letter seeking a detailed report by April 30 on illegal and violent activities by Harvard's foreign student visa holders.
