The Harvard University on Tuesday announced that it would follow the request of the Trump administration to hand over employment records to thousands of its staff members. However, the university clarified that it is currently stopping the records related to the posts organized by the students.
Harvard said in an email to his employees sent on Tuesday that he received a notice earlier this month, which received the information of inspection and sub -region related to the Homeland Security Department. Officials want to support the documents for I-9 or employment verification forms as well as Harvard employees.
I-9 forms released by US citizenship and immigration services can be used to identify employment for people with work permits in the US and verify the authority.
Harvard said that the federal rules are entitled to the government to use the paperwork of the American employer, including information about employment eligibility.
Trump-harward dispute
The Harvard University has been entangled in a legal battle with the Donald Trump administration to restore billions of dollars of federal funds that are frozen. The Ivy League School sued the government earlier this year.
The US President has issued a warning of federal funds to universities that support Pro-Filistini Protests against the War of Israeli in Gaza, in climate initiatives, transgender policies and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Rights advocates have expressed concern over free speech, fixed process and educational freedom.
Harvard said, for now, it was not sharing records with the government for those employed only in the roles available to the students because it was determining whether such a request was complied with secrecy security requirements.
The New York Times said on Monday that the Harvard was open to spend up to $ 500 million to end its dispute with the government. This amount was more than double that the University of Columbia agreed to pay last week to resolve the federal inquiry.
The newspaper said that the negotiaters were still discussing the financial statements of the Harvard deal and Harvard allowed an external monitor to oversee the deal.
On Monday, the government launched an investigation at Duke University and Duke Law Journal, to determine if the selection of its editors has given preference to candidates from minority communities.
On Tuesday, the government said that it informed Duke about a freeze of $ 109 million in federal funds. Separately, it was alleged that California University, Los Angeles violated the Federal Civil Rights Act. Both Duke and UCLA had no immediate comments.
