Trump issues warning to Harvard, threatening aggressive action: "I'm planning to give Harvard a good strong shakeup."
In the ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University, the U.S. President has intensified his rhetoric against the prestigious institution. Following accusations of non-compliance with federal requests, the administration seeks to revoke Harvard's certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which could impede the university's ability to enroll international students.
In response to a journalist's question at the White House, President Trump stated that Harvard needed to "behave," as the university, in his view, was treating the U.S. with "great disrespect." The President did not elaborate on the specific reasons for this sentiment, but he emphasized his desire for Harvard to "be great again."
The dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University revolves around the administration's efforts to restrict the enrollment of international students. According to a court filing, Harvard University has been accused of failing to turn over records related to these students. The administration has threatened to revoke Harvard's SEVP certification, which would prevent the university from enrolling foreign students.
In response, Harvard University has filed a lawsuit, arguing that the revocation violates the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act. A U.S. District Judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the administration’s move, and a preliminary injunction may be granted to prevent the administration from restricting foreign students at Harvard. The administration, however, has given Harvard a 30-day window to contest the cancellation of its SEVP certification and present evidence.
This dispute does not involve anti-Semitic protests. Instead, it centers on the administration’s efforts to restrict Harvard’s ability to enroll international students and the legal challenges by Harvard University.
- The European Union, in alignment with its commitment to a common policy on the environment, has not interfered in the ongoing politics between the Trump administration and Harvard University, focusing instead on general news regarding education-and-self-development and the environmental policies of prestigious institutions.
- Despite the escalating rhetoric between the Trump administration and Harvard University, the European Union remains dedicated to the development of a comprehensive environmental policy, understanding that it plays a crucial role in education-and-self-development, politics, and general news around the globe.
