Kristi Noem, acting as Director of Homeland Security, has revoked Harvard's certification under the SEVP, threatening the status of 6,793 international students. Claiming this action stems from a hostile learning environment for Jewish students, Noem's motivations have been scrutinized as unfounded. The reversal could force affected students to leave the U.S. or face deportation. Her accusations tie Harvard to antisemitism and alleged coordination with foreign entities, raising concerns over the real impact on academic freedom and student welfare.
Noem claimed that Harvard's enrollment of international students "has created a hostile learning environment for Jewish students,” fueling tensions surrounding the university's stance on antisemitism.
This move would mean that Harvard's 6,793 international students would suddenly be "out of status," and they would have to either leave the country or risk deportation.
