The Trump administration has given Harvard University 30 days to contest a decision to revoke its certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which allows it to enroll international students. Homeland Security's notice follows accusations of bias, antisemitism, and alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party—claims Harvard denies. The move could impact 27% of Harvard’s student body. Harvard argues the action is a retaliatory attack on academic freedom and is pursuing legal recourse. Trump has also called for a 15% cap on foreign student admissions. The Justice Department filed the notice ahead of a federal court hearing in Boston. (PC: India Today)
