Washington: The US administration of President Donald Trump has barred the iconic Harvard University from enrolling international students, after the elite institution turned down the regime’s instruction to hand over the conduct report of its foreign students sought by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“Harvard can no longer enrol foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” the US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, CNN reported.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered her department to terminate Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, citing the university’s refusal to turn over the conduct records of foreign students requested by the DHS last month.

The decision could impact more than a quarter of Harvard’s heavily international student body, whose future has become uncertain after the ba. Professors apprehend a mass exodus of foreign students could impact the academic prestige of the institution which has taken on the administration to protect its ideological autonomy.

“Enrolling foreign students is a privilege, not a right” the White House said, charging the Harvard leadership with turning “their once-great institution into a hot-bed of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators.”

“They have repeatedly failed to take action to address the widespread problems negatively impacting American students and now they must face the consequences of their actions,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to CNN
