If DHS can pull the plug on Harvard, no school’s untouchable.

The filing *appeared* to try to correct an obvious violation of the #law when it abruptly announced revocation of #Harvard’s #SEVP certification w/o proper process.
But the 30-day delay does little to address the core questions in the case.
The #Trump admin has sought extensive documentation […]
The case before Judge Burroughs was filed after #KristiNoem revoked #Harvard's #SEVP certification to enroll non-US #students.
In announcing the decision, Noem, without providing #evidence, accused the #university of "fostering violence, antisemitism, & coordinating with the Chinese Communist […]
#Harvard has said losing that right would affect about ¼ of its student body & devastate the school. It has denied #Trump admin fig leaf charges of alleged bias against conservatives, fostering antisemitism on campus & coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.

5月22日美東時間12點，紐約時報、彭博社報道 #哈佛 無法再接收國際學生。隨後，美國國土安全部部長Kristi Noem在推特公布致哈佛大學國際辦公室的信，指因為哈佛「屢次拒絕提供相關信息，並持續營造敵視猶太學生、宣傳親哈馬斯言論、推行帶有種族主義色彩的DEI（多樣性、公平與包容）政策」，該校 #SEVP （學生與交流訪問學者項目）系統即日起暫停。

Does #Harvard have a policy that allows for degree revocation—even decades later—if the recipient is engaged in conduct that undermines Harvard’s reputation?
Does it go beyond that for law, engineering, medicine, etc.?
