Harvard University has sued the Trump government on the US president’s decision to block its ability to register international students.

In a lawsuit filed on Friday at the Boston Federal Court, Harvard characterizes the government’s ruling ‘Blatant violation’ of the US Constitution and other federal laws with “direct and destructive influence” at the university and on more than 7,000 visa holders.

“With a single move, the government sought to delete one quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” He declares Harvard.

“It is the last act of the Government in a clear retaliation for Harvard’s rights to reject the government’s requirements for control of the self -governing, curriculum and” ideology “of teaching staff and Harvard students,” added the university.

On Thursday, the Trump government had announced that it would prevent current and future international students from attending the famous university.

The government has informed Harvard that it is taking this action in the context of an ongoing research on the University by the Ministry of Homeland Security, NTI said, citing three people who know the matter and a letter sent to the University Minister of Homeland Security.

The minister added that the Trump government is thinking of taking similar actions to other universities.

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said on Monday that it is ending federal grants $ 60 million To the university, saying that the Foundation failed to address anti -Semitic harassment and ethnic discrimination on campus.

US President Donald Trump’s government has frozen or terminated federal grants and contracts for the University nearly 3 billion dollars In the last few weeks.
