The university must comply by April 30 or risk losing its certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which allows it to enroll international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHarvard bending the knee to antisemitism \u2014 driven by its spineless leadership \u2014 fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security,\u201d Noem said. \u201cAmerica demands more from universities entrusted with taxpayer dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noem\u2019s announcement adds to the Trump administration\u2019s escalating campaign against Harvard. Earlier today, it was reported that the Department of Justice formally requested that the IRS revoke the university\u2019s tax-exempt status, citing what it called \u201cpersistent violations of public trust\u201d and failure to address antisemitism on campus. That request came just after the White House froze $2.2 billion in federal grants and $60 million in contract value to the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvard has rejected the administration\u2019s demands. In a statement on Monday, University President Alan M. Garber said the school would not compromise its constitutional rights or academic independence, calling the government\u2019s demands \u201cunprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo government\u2014regardless of which party is in power\u2014should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,\u201d Garber said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Donald Trump called Harvard \u201ca joke\u201d in a social media post on Wednesday and accused the institution of promoting \u201chate and stupidity.\u201d Trump specifically criticized the university\u2019s hiring of former mayors Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot, and reiterated his call for the school to lose all federal funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) canceled more than $2.7 million in grants to Harvard University and warned the institution that it could lose the ability to enroll international students unless it hands over detailed records on visa holders\u2019 alleged involvement in illegal or violent activity.
