DHS Subpoenas Harvard in Foreign Student Investigation

News summary

The Trump administration has intensified its conflict with Harvard University by issuing administrative subpoenas demanding information regarding alleged misconduct and visa abuse among foreign students, amid Harvard's refusal to fully comply with earlier requests. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accuses Harvard of allowing foreign students to advocate for violence and terrorism on campus, particularly after recent pro-Palestinian and anti-Semitic protests. DHS officials warn that continued noncompliance could result in civil penalties, loss of accreditation, or the revocation of Harvard's ability to enroll international students, which would affect about a quarter of its student body. Harvard asserts its commitment to legal compliance and decries the subpoenas as unwarranted federal intrusion on its autonomy and academic freedom. The latest action follows a previous subpoena related to a congressional investigation into Ivy League tuition practices, increasing federal scrutiny of the university. This development marks a significant escalation in the legal and political standoff between Harvard and the Trump administration.
