Trump Seeks Extensive Student Data at Harvard

“The latest confrontation between Harvard University and the Trump administration began last month with a far-reaching demand for data on international students,” the New York Times reports.

“Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, sent a letter to Harvard requesting, among other things, coursework for every international student and information on any student visa holder involved in misconduct or illegal activity.”

“Harvard rebuffed parts of the request, and the Trump administration retaliated on Thursday. In one of its most aggressive moves so far against the university, the government said Harvard could no longer enroll any international students, who account for about one-fourth of its total enrollment.”
