The Trump administration has warned Harvard University it could lose the ability to enroll foreign students unless it complies with federal demands to share information on certain visa holders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by Secretary Kristi Noem, also announced the termination of two grants worth $2.7 million. This move follows Harvard's rejection of administration demands amid a broader crackdown tied to pro-Palestinian protests, which Trump has labeled antisemitic. Additionally, over $2 billion in federal funding to Harvard has been frozen, sparking outcry from human rights advocates over threats to free speech and academic freedom.( PC: Reuters)
