Trump Escalates Attacks on Harvard, Targeting International Students
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is threatening to bar Harvard from enrolling
foreign students, unless university officials hand over the records of
its current international students. This comes after Harvard openly
rejected Trump's earlier ultimatums to the school, asserting its
"independence" and "constitutional rights." Meanwhile, House Republicans
launched a civil rights probe into Harvard over its policy on trans
athletes and diversity, equity and inclusion, DEI, which defy Trump's
orders.
