STORY: U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday (May 22).

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the department to terminate the Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, the department said in a statement.

The move means Harvard can no longer enroll international students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status, it said.

Harvard University and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
