State Department investigating Harvard's participation in exchange visitor program

(Reuters) -The U.S. State Department has opened an investigation into Harvard University's eligibility as a sponsor in the exchange visitor program, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday, as the Trump administration takes aim at the country's oldest and richest university.
"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 United States," Rubio said.
"The investigation will ensure that State Department programs do not run contrary to our nation’s interests," he added.
