Original Date Announced
April 16, 2025DHS Secretary Noem sent Harvard a letter claiming that Harvard “has created a hostile learning environment for Jewish students” and requesting information concerning student records. The letter states that ICE’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program could withdraw approval of Harvard as a school that international students can attend if Harvard does not produce records by April 30. The requested information includes:
- Information regarding student visa holders’ “known illegal” or “dangerous” activity;
- Information regarding whether student visa holders have had “disciplinary actions taken as a result of making threats to other students or populations or participating in protests which impacted their nonimmigrant student status;” and
- Information on the coursework of student visa holders to verify that they have taken enough classes to “maintain nonimmigrant student status."
