“ハーバード大は-ば-どだいへの留学りゅうがく不可ふかに” 米べい国土こくど安全あんぜん保障ほしょう省しょう発表はっぴょう 経緯けいいは

The Trump administration in the United States announced that it would revoke Harvard Universitys certification as an institution authorized to accept international students.

It explains that not only will new foreign students no longer be able to study abroad at Harvard University, but also that current foreign students will lose their eligibility to stay in the U.S. unless they transfer to another university.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealed in a statement issued on the 22nd that Secretary Mayorkas has instructed that Harvard Universitys Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification be revoked.

On top of that, it explains, As a result, foreign students will no longer be able to newly study abroad at Harvard University, and even those already enrolled will lose their eligibility to stay in the U.S. unless they transfer to another university.

The Trump administration in April demanded that Harvard University provide information regarding foreign students, claiming that Harvard has succumbed to antisemitism and is threatening national security, but the university reportedly refused.

Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas said, The administration is holding Harvard University accountable for fostering violence and anti-Semitism on campus, as well as for its collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party.

This measure serves as a warning to all universities and academic institutions nationwide, he said, issuing a caution to other universities as well.

Norm also revealed on SNS that he has once again demanded Harvard University to submit all records from the past five years regarding protests and rule-violating actions involving international students, if the university wishes to regain its eligibility.

American media reports that Harvard University has about 7,000 international students, and that one of the governments aims is to cut off tuition revenue from these international students, who are an important source of funding for the university.

The Trump administration had already intensified pressure on the university, such as freezing part of the subsidies to Harvard University and announcing the cancellation of tax benefits.

Harvard University: The governments actions are illegal and cause serious harm to our country. Regarding this measure, Harvard University told NHK, The governments actions are illegal.

We are fully committed to ensuring that we can continue to accept students and researchers from abroad.

These international students and researchers from abroad come from over 140 countries, and they are making immeasurable contributions to the university and to this country.

On top of that, they commented, This retaliatory measure poses a serious threat of causing significant harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvards mission of scholarship and research.

The background of the conflict between Harvard University and the administration is that the Trump administration and Harvard University had been at odds over issues such as their response to students.

[Announcement of Grant Review] In March of this year, the U.S. Department of Education and others issued a statement announcing that they would review grants and contracts totaling approximately $9 billion to Harvard University and its affiliated organizations.

Last year, a series of student protest demonstrations broke out at universities across the United States against Israels attacks on the Gaza Strip, and there were reports of cases where Jewish students were harassed. In response, the administration claimed, Harvard University has not protected its students from antisemitic discrimination.

In response, Harvard University argued that it has already strengthened measures against anti-Semitism.

[Request Rejected, Grant Frozen, Lawsuit Filed] On April 14, Harvard University revealed that it had refused the conditions demanded by the Trump administration for providing grants, such as stopping the promotion of diversity known as DEI and strengthening the crackdown on students.

Immediately after that, the Trump administration announced that it had frozen part of the subsidies to Harvard University.

In response, on April 21, Harvard University filed a lawsuit in the federal district court in Eastern Massachusetts, seeking to overturn the Trump administrations freeze on grants.

The university claims that the federal government is trying to control Harvards academic decision-making by using the freezing of grants, among other things.

We will revoke tax benefits, he declared. In May, President Trump posted on social media, We will revoke Harvard Universitys tax-exempt status.

He posted, They deserve it, and announced that he would revoke Harvard Universitys tax privileges.

It will put even more pressure on the university.

In response, the university argued in a statement that there is no legal basis for revoking the preferential treatment.
