The Trump administration has sent out subpoenas to Harvard University.
The subpoenas are over “information related to the criminality and misconduct of foreign students on its campus.”
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent administrative subpoenas to Harvard University today over information related to the criminality and misconduct of foreign students on its campus.
The agency criticized the Ivy League school’s “refusal to cooperate” with past information requests regarding Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which provides visas for non-citizens to study in the U.S.
“We tried to do things the easy way with Harvard,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. “Now, through their refusal to cooperate, we have to do things the hard way. Harvard, like other universities, has allowed foreign students to abuse their visa privileges and advocate for violence and terrorism on campus.”
“If Harvard won’t defend the interests of its students, then we will.”
The Trump administration recently found that Harvard was in violation of the Civil Rights Act.
A Trump administration investigation has found Harvard University in “violent violation” of the Civil Rights Act, once more escalating its battle with the school days after President Donald Trump suggested a deal was in sight to end its targeting of the university.
Members of the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a Monday letter to Harvard President Alan Garber that an investigation into the school’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal funding, is now complete.
The Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services “finds that Harvard University is in violent violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,” reads the letter obtained by CNN, which is signed by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and others.
The investigation concluded that Harvard “has been in some cases deliberately indifferent, and in others has been a willful participant in anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff,” pointing to examples of Jewish and Israeli students being “assaulted and spit on,” imagery on campus that it says “trafficked in obvious anti-Semitic tropes,” and what it describes as an “impermissible, multiweek encampment that instilled fear in, and disrupted the studies of, Jewish and Israeli students,” according to the letter.
