White House has given a new harvard: confiscated right to educate international students – BBC News in Serbian
The Donald Tramp administration took away the Harvard University right to educate foreign students, the Ministry of Internal Safety of the United States announced.
The American Secretary for the Internal Security of Christ Noem was ordered by Harvard University to suspend « Issuance of Certificate for Students and Exchange Programs because he did not respect the law. »
Foreign citizens planning to study in the United States have to get f or m visa.
Only institutions that are certified to accept students and visitors to exchange (SEWP) can issue the necessary visa documents.
This means that Harvard, if not complying with the requirements within 72 hours, will no longer be able to enroll students from abroad.
International students who are already studying at Harvard will be forced to move to another university or lose their right to stay in the country.
According to the University, last academic year, more than 6,700 international students studied at Harvard, which is 27.2 percent of the total number of students.
« Let this be a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country, » said Kristi Noem 22. May online IX.
Harvard called the move in the statement « illegal ».
« We are completely committed to maintaining Harvard’s ability to host our international students and scientists, which come from more than 140 countries and immeasurably enriches the University – and this country, » they replied from university.
« We work quickly to provide guidelines and support to members of our community.
« This retaliation threatens to inflict serious damage to the University and our country and undermine the Harvard’s academic and research mission, » they said.
The news quickly expanded by the international community in the campus, causing fear and frustration among thousands of students whose future is uncertain.
« Many of us are confused, » Sara Davis said, Australian who studied at Harvard, for the BBC.
« The news arrived just five days before many of us should graduate, and it will obviously have many other implications and it is uncertain whether we will be able to stay in the United States and continue to work here, » Davis said.
Leo Gerden, a 22-year-old Student from Sweden, remembers the day he received a letter of receipt at Harvard as the best day in his life.
He has less than a week left to graduation and says he could not even assume that his studies would end this way.
« International students are used as a token for poker in the fight of white houses and Harvard, » said Gerden for the BBC.
« This is really inhuman, » he added.
The most recent white house move is interpreted as a continuation of accounting with Harvard and other « disobedient » universities.
Donald Trump administration previously is freezed more than two billion dollars intended for Harvard After the university did not agree to key political changes that the white house wants to impose other elite American universities.
Harvard refused to abolish programs for variety, equality and inclusion, prohibitions in protests, change the way of employment and enrollment, and reduce the power of professors and management, which the Republican administration describes as « more dedicated to activism than science ».
Trump officials claim that these measures are part of the wider anti-Semitism, especially after the protest at universities due to the war of Israel in the gaza band.
The administration also began to abolish visas for hundreds of students, professors and researchers in tens of American universities.
Some of the cases have reached the media and include alleged support to terrorist organizations, while others are related to relatively smaller misdemeanors for the old few years.
In the writ of Christ, Noem states that Harvard has 72 hours to fulfill the list of requests to have the « opportunity » to regain the opportunity to enroll these students.
Harvad, according to that order, should submit a complete record of all non-beneficiary students, and they enrolled in studies over the past five years.
Harvard is required to submit electronic records, videos or audio records of « illegal » and « dangerous or violent » student activities that are not immigrants in campus.
The tramp administration tries to restrict individual visas for international students, which caused confusion in university campuses across the United States and led to the waves of the lawsuits.
In some cases, measures seem to have affected foreign students who participated in political protests or had previously criminal charges, such as driving violations.
In a separate court case 22. Maja, the Federal Judge in California blocked the tramp administration to abolish the legal status of international students across the United States, while policy challenging takes place in court.
« We came here for what America is committed to: freedom of speech, academic freedom, ‘live’ intellectual communities, » Swedish Student Gerden on international colleagues said.
« And now the tramp endangers all these values.
« Without international students, Harvard is simply no longer Harvard, » said this Swede.
