Harvard Threatened by US Over Accreditation, Student Data

Harvard Faces Intense Scrutiny from U.S. Government

The Biden administration is escalating pressure on Harvard University, threatening its accreditation and demanding student data. Federal agencies, including the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, have formally notified Harvard's accreditor of alleged Title VI violations, related to how the university handles foreign students.

This action follows the Trump administration's previous claims that Harvard failed to meet accreditation standards. Now, the administration has issued subpoenas – legal orders requiring the university to provide information – concerning foreign student records.

Accreditation is a vital process ensuring educational quality; losing it would severely impact Harvard's reputation and students' ability to receive federal financial aid. The university has yet to release a comprehensive statement, but the situation underscores growing concerns about the oversight of international students on American campuses.
