#Trump gives #Harvard 30 days to contest end of international student enrollment

The Trump admin on Thursday backed away from plans to immediately revoke #HarvardUniversity's ability to enroll #InternationalStudents & would instead give it 30 days to contest those plans through a lengthier administrative process.

The #DHS sent Harvard a notice of intent on Wednesday to *withdraw* the school's certification under a federal program to enroll non-US students.

#DOJ filed the notice in court ahead of a hearing before US Dist Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston over whether to extend a temporary order blocking #Trump from revoking the university's right to host #InternationalStudents.

Citing potential for #Harvard & its #students to be harmed if the admin reverted to its earlier plans, Burroughs at the hearing said she planned to issue a broad preliminary injunction preserving the status quo while the newly announced process plays out.

#Harvard had argued that the revocation violated its #FreeSpeech & #DueProcess rights under the US #Constitution. In addition, Harvard contended that the revocation failed to comply with #DHS #regulations. The regulations required providing at least 30 days to challenge the agency's allegations & giving Harvard an opportunity to pursue an administrative appeal.

#Harvard has said losing that right would affect about ¼ of its student body & devastate the school. It has denied #Trump admin fig leaf charges of alleged bias against conservatives, fostering antisemitism on campus & coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.

DHS claims it sent Harvard the notice after school ofcls indicated an intent to comply w/requirements of the federal #SEVP [but it already does so total BS].

"We continue to reject #Harvard’s repeated pattern of endangering its students & spreading American hate—it must change its ways to be eligible to receive generous benefits from the American people," #DHS Secy #KristiNoem nonsensically said in a statement.

It still hurts to have to apply a reality filter to EVERYTHING the folks in this administration say.
