In an escalation of tensions in the Trump vs Harvard University feud, the US administration said on Wednesday (local time) that it would stop the university from enrolling international students if it does not give in to the government demands that would place it under political oversight.

Trump has expressed his fury against Harvard — which has so far produced 162 162 Nobel prize winners — as it outrightly dismissed his request to allow checks on how the university handles admissions, hiring, and political views.

“And if Harvard cannot verify it is in full compliance with its reporting requirements, the university will lose the privilege of enrolling foreign students," a statement from the Department of Homeland Security read.
