<p style="font-weight: 400;">Harvard University filed a lawsuit on Friday in the United States District Court to challenge the Trump administration’s revocation of Harvard’s capacity to enroll students from abroad.</p>
<p>The lawsuit from Harvard <a href="https://www.harvard.edu/research-funding/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2025/05/Harvard-Visa-Complaint.pdf">claimed</a> Noem’s revocation was a “blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act. It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Thursday, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem alerted the public of the revocation, writing on X:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus. It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In her letter to Harvard, Noem noted:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>As I explained to you in my April letter, it is a privilege to enroll foreign students, and it is also a privilege to employ aliens on campus. 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. 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 &#8220;diversity, equity, and inclusion&#8221; policies, you have lost this privilege.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In April, Harvard sued the Trump administration after the administration froze $2.2 billion in federal funding.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On May 5, Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote Harvard University president Alan Garber, “The Federal Government has a sacred responsibility to be a wise and important steward of American taxpayer dollars. Harvard University, despite amassing a largely tax-free $53.2 billion dollar endowment (larger than the GDP of 100 countries), receives billions of dollars of taxpayer largess each year. Receiving such taxpayer funds is a privilege, not a right. Yet instead of using these funds to advance the education of its students, Harvard is engaging in a systemic pattern of violating federal law. Where do many of these &#8220;students&#8221; come from, who are they, how do they get into Harvard, or even into our country—and why is there so much HATE?”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“These are questions that must be answered, among many more, but the biggest question of all is, why will Harvard not give straightforward answers to the American public?” she continued. “Harvard University has made a mockery of this country&#8217;s higher education system. It has invited foreign students, who engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America, to its campus. In every way, Harvard has failed to abide by its legal obligations, its ethical and fiduciary duties, its transparency responsibilities, and any semblance of academic rigor.”</p>
