Enhancing National Security by Addressing Risks at Harvard University

President Donald Trump issued Proclamation 10948 to enhance national security by restricting the entry of foreign nationals intending to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University. This decision was made due to Harvard's failure to comply with federal regulations, particularly in providing necessary information about misconduct by foreign students, which poses a risk to national security. The proclamation suspends entry for certain visa categories associated with Harvard, citing concerns over the university's entanglements with foreign countries and its inadequate response to federal information requests. The suspension is set for six months but may be extended based on further assessment.
