Unprecedented Gov't Attack on Harvard
- The Trump administration uses a whole-of-government approach to aggressively target universities, especially Harvard.
- This is unprecedented in U.S. history and signals a coordinated authoritarian intimidation campaign.

- These sweeping demands lack legal basis and intrude on student privacy.
Harvard's Legal Position Strong
- Harvard has strong legal footing to resist DHS demands as they exceed statute obligations.
- The administration's threats to block foreign student enrollment are likely to face legal challenges.
