“I have determined that it is necessary to restrict the entry of foreign nationals who seek to enter the United States solely or principally to participate in a course of study at Harvard University or in an exchange visitor program hosted by Harvard University,“ Trump said in a statement late Wednesday.
The Ivy League institution has continually drawn Trump’s ire while publicly rejecting his administration’s repeated demands to give up control of recruitment, curricula and research choices.
It added that current international students already attending Harvard on various visas faced a review, and risked having “their visas revoked.”
“In my judgement, it presents an unacceptable risk to our Nation’s security for an academic institution to refuse to provide sufficient information, when asked, about known instances of misconduct and criminality committed by its foreign students,“ Trump said.
“It is not in the interest of the United States to further compound Harvard’s discrimination against non-preferred races, national origins, shared ancestries, or religions by further reducing opportunities for American students through excessive foreign student enrollment,“ it said.
The Trump administration has targeted foreign students explicitly, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowing to “aggressively” revoke visas to students from China.
Last week, as students graduated, a judge extended a temporary block on Trump’s bid to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students.
