Harvard University is contesting a recent order from the Trump administration that revokes its authority to enroll international students and sponsor scholars. President Alan Garber condemned the order as unlawful, asserting it violates First Amendment rights and due process. The complaint cites retaliatory motives, alleging that the administration is targeting Harvard for refusing to comply with federal demands regarding academic independence. Garber emphasized the potential harm to thousands of students and scholars, asserting that the University has complied with legal requirements concerning international student records.
The revocation continues a series of government actions to retaliate against Harvard for our refusal to surrender our academic independence and to submit to the federal government's illegal assertion of control over our curriculum, our faculty, and our student body.
The order is a blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
