Harvard University Row: Trump wants foreign students named to 'check if they’re okay' | N18G

President Donald Trump’s administration has escalated its crackdown on Harvard University, targeting foreign students and the university’s funding. Trump demanded Harvard reduce foreign student enrollment and provide their names, claiming no foreign government funds the school and threatening to reconsider U.S. grants. Last week, the administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, a move temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, signing executive orders against them and launching a multiagency Task Force to combat campus anti-Semitism. Harvard, among dozens of universities under investigation for alleged civil rights violations related to anti-Semitic harassment, faces reviews of its federal contracts and grants totaling billions. The administration has threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status, halted new federal research funding, and initiated legal battles, with Harvard suing the government over these actions. The ongoing conflict highlights a broader effort to challenge elite universities’ policies and funding under Trump’s leadership.

Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students. What It Means? | N18G

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.
