In a major escalation, the Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, prompting legal threats and panic among the campus community.

US govt revokes Harvard's right to enroll foreign students

In a major escalation, the Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, prompting legal threats and panic among the campus community.

Donald Trump's administration on Thursday revoked Harvard's ability to enroll foreign nationals -- more than a quarter of the student body -- in a dramatic escalation of the US president's fight against the prestigious university.
The school in Cambridge, Massachusetts quickly slammed the move as "unlawful" and said it would hurt both the campus and the country, while one student said the community was "panicking."
Trump is furious at Harvard -- which has produced 162 Nobel prize winners -- for rejecting his demand that it submit to oversight on admissions and hiring over his claims that it is a hotbed of anti-Semitism and "woke" liberal ideology.
The loss of such a large proportion of the student body could prove to be a huge financial blow to Harvard, which charges tens of thousands of dollars a year in tuition.
"Effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor (SEVIS) Program certification is revoked," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a letter to the Ivy League institution, referring to the main system by which foreign students are permitted to study in the United States.
Harvard, which has sued the government over a separate raft of punitive measures, quickly fired back, calling the move "unlawful."
"We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host our international students and scholars," it said in a statement, adding that it was working to offer students guidance and support.
"This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard's academic and research mission."
Karl Molden, an international student from Austria, said he had applied to study at Oxford in Britain because he feared such measures.
"It's scary and it's saddening," the 21-year-old government and classics student told AFP.
"I love Harvard, and getting into the school has been the greatest privilege of my life.
"It's definitely going to change the perception of... students who (might) consider studying there -- the US is getting less of an attractive spot for higher education."
Leaders of the Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors called the move "the latest in a string of nakedly authoritarian and retaliatory moves against America's oldest institution of higher education."
"The Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to destroy higher education in the United States. It now demands that we sacrifice our international students in the process. Universities cannot acquiesce to such extortion," it said.
 - 'Everyone's panicking' -
Last month, Trump threatened to stop Harvard from enrolling foreign students if it did not agree to government demands that would put the private institution under outside political supervision.
"As I explained to you in my April letter, it is a privilege to enroll foreign students," Noem wrote.
"All universities must comply with Department of Homeland Security requirements, including reporting requirements under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program regulations, to maintain this privilege," she said.
"As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' policies, you have lost this privilege."
More than 27 percent of Harvard's enrollment was made up of foreign students in the 2024-25 academic year, according to university data.
Fourth-year US student Alice Goyer told AFP "no one knows" what the development would mean for international students already enrolled.
"We just got the news, so I've been getting texts from a lot of international friends, and I think everyone's just -- no one knows," she said.
"Everyone's panicking a bit."
On whether students would willingly transfer to other institutions, as suggested by Noem in the letter, Goyer said, "I doubt people would do that."
"I would hope maybe there's going to be a legal battle that'll take place."

In a first, Harvard University names Black woman as president

Harvard University announced Thursday that Claudine Gay will become its 30th president, making her the first Black person and the second woman to lead the Ivy League school.

Harvard University announced Thursday that Claudine Gay will become its 30th president, making her the first Black person and the second woman to lead the Ivy League school.
Gay, who is currently a dean at the university and a democracy scholar, will become president July 1. She replaces Lawrence Bacow, who is stepping down and has said he wanted to spend more time with family.
With Gay's appointment, women will outnumber men as chiefs of the eight Ivy League schools. Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania appointed women earlier this year, joining Brown and Cornell. Columbia, Princeton and Yale are led by men.

Gay will be the only Black president currently in the Ivy League and the second Black woman ever, following Ruth Simmons, who led Brown University from 2001 to 2012.
Drew Faust was the first woman to be president at Harvard. A noted historian of the American South and the Civil War, she stepped down in 2018 after 11 years.
Bacow, who took over as president in 2018, expanded and updated the university's teaching and research missions and fostered cooperation across disciplines to address complex issues including climate change and inequality.
Under his leadership, Harvard joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a legal challenge to the Trump administration's decision to make international students leave the country if they planned on taking classes entirely online in fall 2020 at the height of the pandemic.
He criticized the policy for its "cruelty" and "recklessness."
Harvard became one of the first universities to switch to remote learning early in the pandemic, and Bacow and his wife tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2020.
Harvard also faced challenges during his tenure. The university survived a legal challenge to its admissions policies in U.S. District Court, a case that is now being weighed by the Supreme Court.
It was also disclosed that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein visited Harvard's campus more than 40 times after his 2008 sex crimes conviction &mdash; long before Bacow's tenure &mdash; and was even given his own office.
Gay's early challenges could include fallout from the Supreme Court's review of the use of race in admissions. The court is weighing challenges to processes at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, which consider race among many factors when choosing students.
Lower courts have upheld practices at both universities, rejecting claims that they discriminated against Asian American applicants. But in oral arguments this year, the high court's six conservative justices expressed doubts about the practice, which has been upheld under Supreme Court decisions reaching back to 1978.

Covid-19: air pollution hindering India's fight against virus

India's poor air quality could worsen the country's fight against Covid-19.&nbsp;

As the air quality over parts of North India including New Delhi continues to deteriorate, scientists have warned that long-term exposure to air pollution could increase the risk of lung diseases and thus hinder the fight against Covid-19.
A study conducted by researchers from Harvard University showed that an&nbsp;increase of even 1 microgram per cubic meter in PM 2.5 is associated with an 8 per cent increase in the Covid-19 death rate.
Although the link between coronavirus&nbsp;and air pollution is yet to be confirmed, scientists warn of a Covid-19 burden in the coming winter months.&nbsp;
