USA, Noem: ‘Stop foreigners at Harvard is a warning to all universities’

Milan, 23 May (LaPresse) – The Trump administration's decision to revoke Harvard University's ability to enrol international students and force foreign students already enrolled to transfer to other institutions or leave the country ‘should be a warning to all other universities’. This is what US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said in an interview with Fox News. ‘Get your act together because we are coming to make sure that these programmes… do not foster an environment where students can learn, where they are safe and not discriminated against based on their race or their religion,’ she added. On Thursday, her department announced the measure, claiming that Harvard had created an unsafe university environment by allowing ‘anti-American and pro-terrorist agitators’ to attack Jewish students on campus; it also accused the university of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party. ‘This means that Harvard can no longer enrol foreign students and that foreign students already enrolled must transfer or lose their legal status,’ the Department of Homeland Security said.
