Trump administration probes Harvard’s foreign scholar program

The Trump administration has launched an investigation into Harvard University’s exchange program for foreign scholars, citing national security concerns.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the review will assess whether the program, which uses J-1 visas for temporary academic exchanges, aligns with US interests. He warned that Harvard’s ability to host such visitors depends on full compliance with federal regulations, according to Al Jazeera.

Critics see the move as part of ongoing pressure on universities to align with Trump’s policies.
