00:12The Trump administration has further tightened its grip on the United States' oldest university,

00:18Harvard, following funding cuts.

00:21According to a new decision by the administration, the university will no longer be able to admit

00:26foreign students.

00:27This decision has intensified the ongoing tension between Harvard authorities and the

00:32Trump administration.

00:34In a statement released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, it was announced

00:38that Harvard would not be able to admit any more foreign students.

00:43Furthermore, currently enrolled foreign students must transfer to other institutions or they

00:48will lose their legal status.

00:50U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also confirmed the U.S. government's new

00:55decision.

00:56She wrote on the social media platform X, Harvard University has failed to comply with

01:01the law.

01:02Therefore, the institution will not be allowed to admit foreign students.

01:06This serves as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.

01:12According to Harvard University data, approximately 7,000 international students were admitted to

01:17the institution last academic year, which accounted for 27.2 percent of the total student enrollment

01:24for that year.

01:25In a statement condemning the government's new decision, Harvard called it an unlawful move.

01:31University spokesperson Jason Newton said,

01:33We are working quickly to provide guidance and support to members of our community.

01:38This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country and undermines

01:46Harvard's academic and research mission. Since taking office as President of the United States in

01:52January, Donald Trump began cutting federal government funding to Harvard University. Citing the

01:58University as being plagued by deep problems of discrimination, his administration has already

02:03reduced its funding by $2.65 billion. Harvard University authorities have taken the matter to court.

02:10The U.S. President Donald Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's permission to admit

02:16foreign students and has also ordered current foreign students to cease transferring to other

02:21institutions. Additionally, other colleges have been threatened with similar stringent actions. The

02:28Department of Homeland Security stated in a release that Secretary Kristi Noem has ordered the cancellation of

02:33Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program, SEVP, certification, effective from the 2025 to 2026

02:41academic year. Noem has accused Harvard of promoting terrorism, anti-Semitism, and coordinating with the

02:49Chinese Communist Party. Harvard has denounced this decision as illegal and retaliatory,

02:54pledging to stand by the thousands of affected students. This decision adds a new dimension to the

03:00Trump administration's ongoing campaign against Harvard. This Ivy League university, located in

03:06Cambridge, Massachusetts, has become one of Trump's primary targets. This action was taken after Harvard

03:12refused to provide information on some foreign visa-holding students. This decision could impact

03:18thousands of international students studying at Harvard. According to university data, over 6,700

03:25international students were enrolled their last academic year, making up 27 percent of the total

03:31student population. The news quickly spread across campus on Thursday, creating fear and frustration

03:37among students whose futures have suddenly become uncertain.
