The proclamation accuses Harvard University of failing to โ€˜discipline at least some categories of conduct violations on campus.โ€™

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on June 4 to suspend international visas for new students at Harvard University as his administration and the Ivy League college battle in court over frozen federal funding.

Trumpโ€™s proclamation, โ€œEnhancing National Security by Addressing Risks at Harvard University,โ€ stops any new Harvard students from entering the United States as nonimmigrants under student (F), vocational (M), and exchange visitor (J) visas. It directs โ€œthe Secretary of State to consider revoking existing F, M, or J visas for current Harvard students who meet the Proclamationโ€™s criteria.โ€

The proclamation accuses Harvard of failing to โ€œdiscipline at least some categories of conduct violations on campus.โ€ It also states that U.S. adversaries, such as the Chinese Communist Party, are trying to โ€œtake advantage of American higher education by exploiting the student visa program for improper purposes and by using visiting students to collect information at elite universities in the United States.โ€

The Trump administration is accusing Harvard of not properly addressing these allegations and of refusing requests from the Department of Homeland Security for information about foreign studentsโ€™ โ€œknown illegal activity.โ€

โ€œThese actions and failures directly undermine the Federal Governmentโ€™s ability to ensure that foreign nationals admitted on student or exchange visitor visas remain in compliance with Federal law,โ€ Trumpโ€™s proclamation stated.

In a statement to The Epoch Times, Harvard said it โ€œwill continue to protect its international students.โ€

โ€œThis is yet another illegal retaliatory step taken by the Administration in violation of Harvardโ€™s First Amendment rights,โ€ a Harvard spokesperson said.

The White House said the move was to โ€œsafeguard national securityโ€ amid Harvardโ€™s alleged failure to โ€œprovide sufficient informationโ€ on its foreign students and its โ€œreporting deficient data on only three students.โ€

โ€œHarvard is either not fully reporting its disciplinary records for foreign students or is not seriously policing its foreign students,โ€ the proclamation stated.

The Trump administration has accused Harvard of failing to address anti-Semitism on campus and of continuing its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
