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.

美国特朗普政府于周四撤销了哈佛大学在‌学生和交流访问学者项目(SEVP)‌下的认证资质，实质禁止该校招收新的国际学生。

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 "Enrolling international students is a privilege -- not a right -- and that privilege has been revoked due to Harvard's repeated failure to comply with federal law."

美国国土安全部（DHS）部长克丽丝蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）宣布了这一决定。她在声明中表示：“这应成为对美国所有大学和学术机构的警示。招收国际学生是一种特权——而非权利——哈佛因屡次违反联邦法律已被取消该特权。” 

DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, "existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status."

国土安全部称，除了禁止未来招收国际学生外，“现有外国学生若想保留合法居留身份，必须转学。 ”

In response, Harvard issued a statement calling the administration's action unlawful and harmful.

哈佛大学随即发表声明回应，谴责政府的行动违法且具有破坏性。 

"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."

“我们坚决致力于维护哈佛接纳国际学生和学者的能力。他们来自140多个国家，为哈佛乃至整个美国作出了不可估量的贡献。我们正迅速采取行动，为社区成员提供指导和支持。这一报复性举措对哈佛社区和我们的国家构成严重威胁，并损害了哈佛的学术和研究使命。”

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.

此前，哈佛大学因拒绝取消多元化、公平与包容性项目，以及拒绝以意识形态为由审查国际学生，于今年4月被政府冻结了22亿美元的联邦拨款。  

As of the fall 2023 semester, international students made up over 27 percent of Harvard's student body, according to university data.

据哈佛大学数据显示，截至2023年秋季学期，国际学生占该校学生总数的27%以上。
