US EditionTrump administration blocks Harvard from enrolling international students
- On Thursday, the Trump administration barred Harvard University from admitting new international students, impacting the Cambridge, Massachusetts campus.
- The action followed concerns over Harvard's failure to report foreign student data and allegations that the school fostered an unsafe environment including antisemitism and Chinese Communist Party coordination.
- The Department of Homeland Security accused Harvard of permitting attacks against Jewish students and of providing training to a Chinese paramilitary organization as late as 2024; Harvard denied any misconduct and is offering support and guidance to its students.
- Harvard enrolls nearly 6,800 foreign students, over a quarter of its student body, who now must transfer or lose legal status, with Harvard calling the move unlawful and free speech groups denouncing it as authoritarian overreach.
- The revocation adds to ongoing disputes, including federal grant cuts totaling $2.6 billion, lawsuits, and threats to Harvard's academic mission, while critics warn this creates chilling effects on international education in the U.S.
