Harvard University has agreed to hand over employment records requested by the Trump administration, specifically I-9 forms that verify employees' eligibility to work in the U.S. While the school emphasizes it's following the law, the move comes amid heightened scrutiny of immigration policies and elite institutions.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just bureaucratic paperwork—it’s a small but telling moment in the larger tug-of-war between federal immigration enforcement and universities. Harvard’s compliance suggests even prestigious institutions are walking a tightrope between legal obligations and potential backlash over perceived cooperation with controversial policies. For critics of strict immigration rules, it’s another worrying step; for supporters, it’s basic accountability. Either way, it keeps the debate alive.
