Harvard sues Trump administration over foreign students ban
by Ian Swanson -
Harvard University is suing the Trump administration a day after the Department of Homeland Security revoked its certification to admit foreign students, an escalation of its fight with the institution and an effort to hit its wallet.
Harvard President Alan Gerber announced the suit in a letter to the Harvard community.
“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body,” the complaint reads, according to a report by The Washington Post.
He characterized the government’s actions as an effort to lash out at Harvard over its “refusal to surrender our academic independence and to submit to the federal government’s illegal assertion of control over our curriculum, our faculty and our student body.”
“We condemn this unlawful and unwarranted action,” he wrote.

The Post reported the suit will be filed later on Friday in U.S. district court in Massachusetts.
