It follows a judge’s ruling blocking the federal government from revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students.
President Donald Trump on May 25 said he wanted the names and countries of origin of foreign students at Harvard days after a federal judge blocked his administration from trying to stop the university from enrolling foreign students.
“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Sunday.
“We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries.”
On May 22, the Department of Homeland Security revoked certification of Harvard University’s foreign student admissions program.
“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a social media post.
