The US Donald Trump administration on Thursday revoked Harvard University's certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), effectively barring the institution from enrolling new international students.
美國政府22日宣布取消哈佛大學獲得的學生和交流學者項目資質，禁止該校招收國際學生。
US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the decision. "Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country," Noem said in a statement. "Enrolling international students is a privilege — not a right — and that privilege has been revoked due to Harvard's repeated failure to comply with federal law."
根據美國國土安全部當天發表的聲明，國土安全部長諾姆宣布了這一決定，稱此舉是對全國所有大學和學術機構的警告。諾姆說，“招收國際學生是一項特權，而非權利”，由于哈佛大學屢次違反聯邦法律，這項特權已被撤銷。
DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, "existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status."
國土安全部聲明說，哈佛大學除了不能再招收國際學生入學外，現有的外國學生必須轉學，否則將失去合法身份。
In response, Harvard issued a statement calling the administration's action unlawful and harmful.
哈佛大學隨后發表聲明指出，特朗普政府的行為非法且有害。
"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," the statement said. "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."
學校正在迅速行動，為社區成員提供指導和支持。哈佛大學國際學生和學者來自140多個國家，為哈佛大學乃至整個國家帶來了巨大的財富。“這一報復性行動可能對哈佛社區和我們的國家造成嚴重損害，并損害哈佛的學術和研究使命。”
As of the fall 2023 semester, international students made up over 27 percent of Harvard's student body, according to university data.
根據哈佛大學的數據，截至2023年秋季學期，國際學生占哈佛學生總數的27%以上。
The administration in April froze 2.2 billion US dollars in federal grants to Harvard, after the university rejected demands that it eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and evaluate international students for ideological concerns.
今年4月，美國政府凍結了向哈佛提供的22億美元聯邦撥款，原因是哈佛拒絕了取消多樣性、公平和包容性項目，以及出于意識形態考慮對國際學生進行評估的要求。
