Harvard in Crosshairs: Trump Administration Bars University from Enrolling International Students Over National Security Claims

In a move that has sent shockwaves through global academia, the Trump administration has revoked Harvard University’s authority to admit international students — a decision that places the academic future of over 6,000 foreign scholars, including hundreds from India, in limbo.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the unprecedented decision, citing “serious national security concerns” and Harvard’s alleged failure to comply with federal oversight. The university has now lost its certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), effectively halting its ability to sponsor student visas.

DHS Accuses Harvard of Defiance and Bias

At the heart of the controversy are accusations leveled by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who claims Harvard repeatedly failed to hand over documentation on its international student population. She also charged the university with fostering what she called an “unsafe and divisive environment,” particularly for Jewish students.

According to Noem, Harvard’s continued endorsement of what she described as pro-Hamas rhetoric and racially charged DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies violated federal expectations of neutrality and safety in higher education.

“This is not about education. This is about national integrity,” Noem stated.

Harvard Strikes Back: ‘Unlawful and Retaliatory’

Harvard University has condemned the move in scathing terms, calling it both “unlawful” and “retaliatory.” In a statement issued late Friday, the institution reaffirmed its commitment to its global student body, vowing to fight the ruling in court.

“This political assault endangers the aspirations of thousands of scholars from across the world and undermines America’s global leadership in higher education,” the statement read. Harvard also confirmed it has filed a formal complaint and is pursuing a temporary restraining order to block the policy.

University officials claim the decision is the latest escalation in a growing rift with the White House, fueled by Harvard’s resistance to federal pressure. Earlier this year, the school refused to dismantle its DEI programs or crack down on student-led pro-Palestinian demonstrations — defiance that drew the ire of President Trump.

Mounting Tensions and Legal Fallout

The Trump administration has made clear it intends to tighten its grip on universities it deems “non-compliant” with federal directives. In recent months, Washington froze billions in research grants destined for Harvard and even floated the idea of stripping the university of its tax-exempt status.

In retaliation, Harvard filed a constitutional lawsuit, accusing the government of violating its First Amendment rights and attempting to exert unlawful control over academic freedom.

For now, international students remain caught in the political crossfire — with their academic futures at stake, and legal battles likely to intensify in the days ahead.
