Trump Administration Says It Is Halting Harvard's Ability to Enroll International Students

From: The New York Times

The Trump administration on Thursday said it would halt Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, taking aim at a crucial funding source for the nation's oldest and wealthiest college in a major escalation of the administration's efforts to pressure the elite school to fall in line with the president's agenda.

The latest move intensifies the administration's attempt to upend the culture of higher education by directly subverting the ability of one of the nation's premier universities to attract the best and brightest students from all over the world. That capability, across all of academia, has long been one of the greatest sources of academic, economic and scientific strength in America.

It is also likely to prompt a second legal challenge from Harvard, according to a person familiar with the school's thinking who insisted on anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The university sued the Trump administration last month over the government's attempt to impose changes to its curriculum, admissions policies and hiring practices.

“I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked,” a letter to the university from Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said. A copy of the letter was obtained by The New York Times.

The Department of Homeland Security said the action applied to current and future students.

“Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” the department said in a news release after Ms. Noem posted the administration's letter on social media later on Thursday.

About 6,800 international students attended Harvard in the 2024-25 school year, or roughly 27 percent of the student body, according to university enrollment data. That was up from 19.7 percent in 2010-11.

The administration's decision is likely to have a significant effect on the university's bottom line. Tuition at Harvard is $59,320 for the 2025-26 school year, and costs can rise to nearly $87,000 when room and board are included. International students tend to pay larger shares of education costs compared with other students. (Harvard notes it is need-blind for all students, regardless of nationality.)

A spokesman for Harvard called the administration's action “unlawful.”

“We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host our international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the university — and this nation — immeasurably,” said Jason Newton, the university's director of media relations. “We are working quickly to provide guidance and support to members of our community. This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard's academic and research mission.”

Trump Administration Says It Is Halting Harvard's Ability to Enroll International Students

From: The New York Times

The Trump administration on Thursday said it would halt Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, taking aim at a crucial funding source for the nation's oldest and wealthiest college in a major escalation of the administration's efforts to pressure the elite school to fall in line with the president's agenda.

Trump政府周四表示，将终止哈佛大学招收国际学生的资质，此举旨在切断这所美国历史最悠久、财力最雄厚大学的关键资金来源，标志着美国政府为迫使这所精英学府服从总统议程而采取的施压行动大幅升级。

halt /hɒlt/ 作名词，表示“停止，停下，中止”，英文解释为“an occasion when something stops moving or happening”如：the recent halt in production 最近的停产。

作动词，1）表示“使停住；停住”，英文解释为“When a person or a vehicle halts or when something halts them, they stop moving in the direction they were going and stand still.”举个🌰：They halted at a short distance from the house. 他们停在离房子不远处。

2）表示“使完全停止；完全停止”，英文解释为“When something such as growth, development, or activity halts or when you halt it, it stops completely.”举个🌰：Workers halted production at the auto plant yesterday. 昨天，汽车厂的工人完全停止了生产。

The latest move intensifies the administration's attempt to upend the culture of higher education by directly subverting the ability of one of the nation's premier universities to attract the best and brightest students from all over the world. That capability, across all of academia, has long been one of the greatest sources of academic, economic and scientific strength in America.

这一最新举措将直接削弱美国一流大学吸引全世界最优秀、最聪明的学生的能力，让政府颠覆高等教育文化的企图更进一步。长久以来，这种汇聚天下英才的能力正是美国学术、经济和科学实力的主要来源之一。

补充：

📍fare well值得积累的一个表达，此前在「经济学人」足球客队「经济学人」足球客队为啥总是输？文中提到过，fare作动词，表示“进展；成功；遭遇”，直白地解释就是，xxx做得好/做得不好，表现得好/表现不好，后面可接well或者是badly（文中为比较级），英文解释为“If you say that someone or something fares well or badly, you are referring to the degree of success they achieve in a particular situation or activity.”举个🌰：How did you fare in your exams? 你考得怎么样？

🎬电影《总统杀局》（The Ides of March）中的台词提到：And you wouldn't fare too well in federal prison. 你在联邦监狱也不会好过。

表示“颠覆；暗中破坏”，英文解释为“to try to destroy the authority of a political, religious, etc. system by attacking it secretly or indirectly”举个🌰：Our best intentions are sometimes subverted by our natural tendency to selfishness. 我们的良好意图有时会被自私的本性所破坏。

premier /ˈprem.i.ər/ 作名词，“（尤用于新闻报道）首相，总理；（加拿大的）省总理，地区总理”；作为形容词则表示“首位的，首要的”（best or most important），举个🌰：He's one of the nation's premier scientists. 他是该国最重要的科学家之一。

据一位熟悉哈佛校方想法的消息人士透露，此举很可能促使哈佛大学再次发起法律诉讼。由于涉及内部讨论，该人士坚持要求匿名。上个月，哈佛大学已就联邦政府试图强制其修改课程设置、招生政策及聘用制度起诉特朗普政府。

anonymity /ˌæn.ɒnˈɪm.ə.ti/ 表示“匿名；无名；不公开姓名”，英文解释为“the situation in which someone's name is not given or known”举个🌰：The police have reassured witnesses that they will be guaranteed anonymity. 警方让目击证人放心，保证不公开他们的姓名。

“I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked,” a letter to the university from Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said. A copy of the letter was obtained by The New York Times.

国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在致哈佛的信中写道：“我特此通知，哈佛大学的学生和访问学者项目认证即日起撤销。”《纽约时报》获得了这封信的副本。

International students tend to pay larger shares of education costs compared with other students. (Harvard notes it is need-blind for all students, regardless of nationality.)

政府的决定可能对该校的财务状况产生重大影响。哈佛2025–26学年学费为59320美元，加上食宿可能接近87,000美元。与其他学生相比，国际学生通常承担更高比例的教育费用（哈佛校方强调其“免于经济考量”的录取原则适用于所有学生，不考虑国际因素）。

“We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host our international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the university — and this nation — immeasurably,” said Jason Newton, the university's director of media relations. “We are working quickly to provide guidance and support to members of our community.

哈佛大学媒体关系主任杰森·纽顿表示：“我们坚决捍卫哈佛接纳国际学生与学者的权利。他们来自140多个国家，极大地丰富了哈佛大学和这个国家。我们正迅速采取行动，为受影响群体提供指导与支持。这一报复行动将对哈佛社群乃至整个美国造成严重伤害，更将动摇哈佛的学术和研究使命。”
