Trump administration renews pressure on Harvard over foreign students, accreditation
MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 10 – The Department of Homeland Security escalated enforcement after Harvard repeatedly refused voluntary requests, targeting alleged visa abuses and misconduct by foreign students under federal immigration law.
- On Wednesday, DHS issued subpoenas compelling Harvard to produce records on foreign-student misconduct and visa compliance.
- Following Harvard's repeated refusals to cooperate since January 2020, DHS issued subpoenas in July, affecting a quarter of students and escalating the legal dispute over visa compliance.
- ICE's subpoena demands records from January 2020, alleging visa abuse and campus violence advocacy, as DHS claimed Harvard's responses were inadequate.
- However, U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs’s temporary restraining order allows Harvard to keep issuing SEVP visas and enrolling international students, safeguarding about 27% of its student body.
- In the coming weeks, federal agencies urged the New England Commission of Higher Education to review Harvard's accreditation, with a July 21 hearing set, though full evaluation isn't due until 2027.
