The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's certification to enroll international students, citing noncompliance with federal law.

Axar.az, citing BBC, reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the decision, warning other institutions to take note.

Harvard called the move "unlawful" and vowed to support its international community, which makes up 27% of its student body.

The decision follows an escalating conflict between Harvard and the administration over demands related to antisemitism, disciplinary records, and foreign student activity.

International students now face uncertainty, with many potentially forced to transfer schools to maintain legal status.

A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked similar visa cancellations nationwide while lawsuits continue.

Critics argue the move politicizes education and undermines U.S. values of academic freedom and openness.
