Here's the letter Noem sent Harvard, as posted on X. Nothing alleges ANY specific violation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. Nothing. She cites no law violated, no regulation broken, no policy ignored.

I don't care what you think of Harvard; this is clear weaponization of government.

"But here's the beautiful thing about practicing courage: it's contagious. When you stand up, you make it easier for others to stand up. ...So today, I'm calling on each of us to practice courage—not the spectacular kind, but the everyday kind that changes lives and, ultimately, societies."

"Courage isn't a quality you either have or don't—it's a practice you develop over time. Like any muscle, it strengthens with use. Each small act of bravery—speaking up at a town hall, attending a rally, affirming values of inclusion at work—builds your capacity for the next challenge."
