   #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.

     #DHS’s move would prevent #Harvard from enrolling new #InternationalStudents & require existing ones to transfer to other #schools or lose their #legal status.

     #Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that #HarvardUniversity should have a 15% cap on the number of non-U.S. #students it admits.

     In a letter that day, Noem accused #Harvard of refusing to comply w/wide-ranging requests for information on its #StudentVisa holders…. [Though she cited no law or regulation that the university had violated]

     Harvard, the nation's oldest & wealthiest #university, enrolled nearly 6,800 #InternationalStudents in its current school year, ~27% of its total enrollment.

     The case before Judge Burroughs was filed after #KristiNoem revoked #Harvard's #SEVP certification to enroll non-US #students.

     In announcing the decision, Noem, without providing #evidence, accused the #university of "fostering violence, antisemitism, & coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party." [#FigLeaf]

     "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.

     The #university's lawyers argued #DHS's action was part of an "unprecedented & retaliatory attack on #AcademicFreedom at #Harvard," which is pursuing a separate lawsuit challenging the admin's decision to terminate nearly $3B in federal #research #funding.

     Harvard argues the #Trump admin is retaliating against it for refusing to accede to its demands to control the school's #governance, #curriculum & the #ideology of its #faculty & #students.

     #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].

     Woo Hoo! It’s official.

     Federal Judge Burroughs has extended her order blocking the #Trump admin’s attempt to bar #Harvard University from enrolling foreign students. US District Judge Allison Burroughs granted Harvard’s request for a preliminary injunction, blocking the govt’s action until the case is decided. It had already been paused since last week, when Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order.

     Claiming #Harvard failed to fully comply with their likely extralegal demands, the admin moved last week to revoke its ability to host #InternationalStudents.

     So now it is giving Harvard 30 calendar days to provide written documentation & other evidence “to rebut the alleged grounds for withdrawal.”

     The filing *appeared* to try to correct an obvious violation of the #law when it abruptly announced revocation of #Harvard’s #SEVP certification w/o proper process.
     But the 30-day delay does little to address the core questions in the case.
     The #Trump admin has sought extensive documentation from Harvard, requesting, among other things, coursework for EVERY international student & information on any #StudentVisa holder involved in misconduct or *illegal* activity.

     The #Trump admin’s filing giving #Harvard 30 days to respond w/evidence showing why the admin should not make good on its threat to bar it from enrolling #InternationalStudents appears to be a legal maneuver to delay, if not change, the ultimate outcome in the case.
     Judge Burroughs had already temporarily stopped the federal govt from the move, & the sides were taking part in a hearing this morning to review extending her injunction.
