The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's certification to enrol international students, citing allegations of antisemitism and ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem declared the move “effective immediately,” accusing Harvard of fostering violence and noncompliance with federal law. Harvard condemned the action as “unlawful” and pledged continued support for its international community. This decision follows a prior lawsuit by Harvard against federal overreach into academic policies and a DHS request for student protest data. The university is expected to mount another legal challenge, warning of broader threats to academic freedom nationwide. (PC: India Today)
