Trump says Harvard students need ‘remedial math’, can't add 2+2 in attack on international students
- The Trump administration announced in early May 2025 it would revoke Harvard University's certification to enroll international students, sparking legal action in Boston federal court.
- This move followed accusations by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that Harvard fostered violence, antisemitism, and colluded with the Chinese Communist Party, leading Harvard to sue for illegal government overreach.
- Harvard, with international students comprising 27% of its enrollment from over 147 countries, has implemented remedial math courses to address skill gaps reportedly worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

- A federal judge blocked the certification revocation temporarily, allowing thousands of international students to remain enrolled amid ongoing legal proceedings and continued uncertainty for Harvard's community.
