The United States Government gave 72 hours to Harvard University to provide information on “violent” activities and protests in which their students have participated if they want to recover their foreigners’ registration program, today revoked by the administration of President Donald Trump.
The secretary of the Department of National Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, told the institution in a letter that could reinstate its certification of the Student and Visitors of Exchange Program if it met a series of requirements in 72 hours.
Among other things, the DHS asks the prestigious academic institution that facilitates videos, images or audios of “illegal” and “violent” protests and activities that have taken place inside or outside the campus in the last five years and in which students have participated with visas of the types J1 and F.
Noem stressed that this is “a clear message for Harvard and all universities, that the Trump administration will enforce the law and eradicate the evils of anti -Semitism and anti -Americanism in society and campuses.”

In a statement released this morning, the DHS specified that Harvard “can no longer enroll foreign students and that the current ones must transfer or lose their legal status”, claiming that the university has allowed “that antiestadounidan agitators and proterrorists to harass and physically aggregate to people, including many Jewish students.”
The revocation of its ability to enroll foreigners is a escalation of the tension between the government and the university, which in April demanded to the Republican administration in order to recover its federal financing, frozen for incurring alleged anti -Semitic behaviors.
Harvard is one of the universities – in addition to Columbia and Princeton, among others – who have seen their financing for reports from the ‘Federal Working Group to combat anti -Semitism’, created by Trump, created by Trump, for allegedly applying policies of ‘positive discrimination’ or for not accommodating what the Trump government qualifies as “diversity of ideas”.

The accusations of anti -Semitism poured by Trump refer above all to the proportions that took place last year at the University of Columbia (New York) and that extended to other American university centers.
