The Trump Administration revoked Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program, effectively preventing Harvard from accepting any international students onto its campus. The government is threatening Harvard to extort data on their international students, which Harvard worries would be a violation of the law.

The administration has repeatedly targeted the university, including pulling all federal research funding, citing a rise in antisemitism on campus.

The decision affects 27% of Harvard's student body. It punishes foreign students collectively, including Israeli students.
