Noam has made serious allegations against Harvard in a social media post. He said, “Harvard promoted violence, anti-Jewish sentiments in his campus and coordinated with the Chinese Communist Party.”
‘These steps will be warned for other universities’
He further said, ‘For universities, foreign students enroll and increase their assets of billions of dollars from their high tuition fees are a privilege, not rights. Harvard was given several opportunities to take the right steps, but he refused. As a result of not following the law, its SEVP certification has been taken away.
Noam also warned that this step will serve as a warning for all universities and educational institutions across the country.
Harvard called it ‘illegal’
At the same time, Harvard University has strongly criticized this decision of the US Homeland Security Department. In an official statement, the university termed the move as an eligible and has rejected the government’s allegations. At the same time, the university said that it will continue to support its international students in 140 countries.
According to university data, Harvard nominated around 6,800 international students in 2024-2025 years, which is 27% of her total enrollment.
Harvard also indicated that he could file a second legal case against the government for this action. Earlier, the university had filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration last month against its curriculum, admission processes and efforts to change the appointment policies.
The action took place three weeks after Harvard submitted disciplinary records of foreign students requested by the Trump administration in mid -April. The university administration has refused to disclose which data was shared with the agency.
Apart from this, on 16 April, the Homeland Security Department first sent a letter to Harvard, which was asked to give information about the university’s activity in the campus, including participation in protests. Nom had threatened that if Harvard did not do so, he would withdraw his SEVP certification back to certification.
