The Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll foreign students and gave it 72 hours to hand over student records. Now Harvard is suing the Trump administration for the ban.
Transcript
00:00Harvard University is suing the Trump administration after the government banned the school from
00:05enrolling international students. The order not only prevents Harvard from accepting new foreign
00:10applicants, but existing ones would need to transfer out or lose their legal status.
00:16The Department of Homeland Security says it could back down if Harvard submits five years worth of
00:21records related to international students' conduct within 72 hours. Trump has been targeting the
00:28school since April when it refused to hand over student disciplinary records to the DHS,
00:34specifically audio or video of any protest activity involving foreign students. The White House is also
00:40asking Harvard to change its hiring policies to eliminate what it calls racist diversity, equity,
00:47and inclusion practices, and is seeking an audit of viewpoints of students and staff,
00:53something the college says violates its constitutional rights. The DHS has accused Harvard
00:58and other elite colleges of creating an unsafe campus by allowing anti-American pro-terrorist
01:05agitators to assault Jewish students on campus. Harvard, meanwhile, has acknowledged that problem
01:10and said it has begun taking concrete steps to address it. The Ivy League enrolls almost 6,800
01:16foreign students from over 100 countries, comprising more than 25 percent of its collective student body.
01:24The ban could hurt its revenue since international students are more likely to pay full tuition.
01:30Along with room and board, they dish out about $87,000 a year. So if every foreign student paid that
01:37full amount, Harvard would make about $591 million in annual revenue, which means there's a lot at stake
01:44for both the college and students.
