Harvard Under Fire: Trump Launches New Attack on Harvard

Harvard Under Fire: Trump Launches New Attack on Harvard
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Trump administration intensified its battle with Harvard University on Tuesday, launching an investigation into the Ivy League institution’s eligibility to sponsor visas under the Exchange Visitor Program (EVP). While the State Department’s letter cited no specific violations, it warned that participants must comply fully with exchange visitor regulations. A move Harvard had immediately condemned as “retaliatory” and an attack on its First Amendment rights.

The EVP, which facilitates cultural and educational exchanges for foreign professionals like physicians, researchers, and au pairs, represents a new front in the administration’s campaign against Harvard. Secretary of State Marco Rubio underscored the stakes on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “Visa sponsorship is a privilege, and sponsors whose conduct tarnishes our nation’s interests will lose that privilege.”

The investigation follows months of tension over allegations that Harvard has failed to curb antisemitism on campus, prompting the administration to previously revoke its access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) (a decision temporarily blocked by a federal judge).

Harvard Under Fire: Trump Launches New Attack on Harvard

The visa investigation coincides with an ongoing lawsuit over frozen federal grants, where Harvard attorneys argued in Boston federal court this week that the administration is attempting to “control the inner workings” of the university by withholding $2 billion in research funding. Harvard lawyer Steven Lehotsky accused officials of ignoring the public cost, including disruptions to cancer research and other critical studies.

Government attorney Michael Velchick countered that Harvard prioritized campus protesters over compliance with executive orders on antisemitism, framing the funding freeze as accountability for the school’s alleged violations.

Harvard’s leadership views the EVP probe and grant freeze as part of a broader White House strategy to punish the university for resisting demands to overhaul its hiring practices, governance, and DEI policies. The administration’s aggressive tactics, some of which includes threatening accreditation and barring international students have sparked warnings about government overreach into academic freedom.

With a federal judge already intervening to preserve Harvard’s SEVP privileges, the legal clashes may eventually test how far Washington can go in weaponizing funding and visas to influence higher education.

Why It Matters

For the meantime, Harvard remains defiant, vowing to defend its autonomy in court while the world look on to know whether America’s oldest university can withstand the White House’s onslaught.
