Trump vs Harvard University

The Trump administration on Thursday barred Harvard University from enrolling international students, CNN reported.

The decision comes after Harvard University refused to agree to the administration's policy demands. In a statement, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated, "Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status."US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem directed her department to end Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, over the university's refusal to turn over the conduct records of foreign students requested by the DHS in April.

The administration's decision could affect more than a quarter of Harvard's heavily international student body, who have been worried by the announcement. Professors have warned that a mass exodus of foreign students threatens to restrain the institution's academic prowess even as it fights against the Trump administration for its ideological autonomy, according to CNN report.
