Washington: The US State Department has said that it is opening an investigation into Harvard University’s continued eligibility as a sponsor for the Exchange Visitor Program, which allows foreign students and scholars to participate in exchange programs in the US.
The investigation marks the Trump administration’s renewed effort to restrict the admission of overseas students at the country’s oldest university, Xinhua news agency reported.
“To maintain their privilege to sponsor exchange visitors, sponsors must comply with all regulations, including conducting their programs in a manner that does not undermine the foreign policy objectives or compromise the national security interests of the US,” US State Secretary Marco Rubio said on Wednesday in a statement.
“The investigation will ensure that State Department programs do not run contrary to our nation’s interests,” Rubio added.
