Harvard University is suing the Trump administration a day after the Department of Homeland Security revoked its certification to admit foreign students, an escalation of its fight with the institution and an effort to hit its wallet.
Harvard President Alan Gerber announced the suit in a letter to the Harvard community.
“Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,” the complaint reads.
The suit, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, claims the administration's actions violate the First Amendment, constitutional due process and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) own regulations.
It landed just hours after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ordered Harvard to be taken off the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification.
Gerber characterized the government’s actions as an effort to lash out at Harvard over its “refusal to surrender our academic independence and to submit to the federal government’s illegal assertion of control over our curriculum, our faculty and our student body.”
“We condemn this unlawful and unwarranted action,” he wrote.
