Enrolment

The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's certification to enroll international students, citing concerns over alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party, fostering antisemitism, and inciting violence. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the termination of Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), forcing the university to stop admitting new international students and requiring current foreign students to transfer or lose legal status. Harvard, which enrolled nearly 6,800 international students in the 2024–2025 academic year, condemned the move as illegal and retaliatory. The decision marks a significant escalation in the administration’s campaign against elite academic institutions. Jay Greene of the Heritage Foundation supported the revocation, emphasizing that student visas are a privilege and criticizing universities for prioritizing globalism while benefiting from U.S. taxpayer subsidies. Analysts believe Harvard’s legal challenges are strategic, aiming to negotiate a better outcome rather than overturn the decision outright, acknowledging the government’s dominant position in the dispute.
