The Trump administration has escalated its conflict with Harvard University by canceling $2.7 million in grants and threatening to halt the enrollment of international students due to alleged antisemitic actions by foreign visa holders. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized Harvard’s leadership and demanded detailed records on foreign student activities, warning that non-compliance could lead to the loss of its Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification. Harvard has rejected the administration’s demands, asserting its commitment to independence and constitutional rights while complying with the law.
