The U.S government has threatened to ban Harvard University from enrolling foreign students after the institution said it would not bow to demands from President Donald Trump’s administration and was hit with a funding freeze.
The White House has demanded the oldest university in the U.S make changes to hiring, admissions and teaching practices to help fight antisemitism on campus.
Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem has asked for records on what she called the “illegal and violent” activities of its foreign student visa-holders.
Harvard earlier said it had taken many steps to address antisemitism, and that demands were an effort to regulate the university’s “intellectual conditions”.
