According to reports by CNN and other US media outlets, the Trump administration recently requested Harvard University to reform its management structure and other aspects, but was rejected. Harvard University faces the risk of losing its qualification to enroll international students. In this context, Biden participated in an event at Harvard Kennedy School on the 16th local time and had a conversation with students.

"The Crimson" reported that according to two students who attended the event, Biden said, "Harvard has taken unprecedented action." The report also said that after the event, Biden refused to comment on whether the Harvard University president should sue the White House. "I think Harvard just needs to continue doing what it is doing - inspiring everyone," Biden said.

"The Crimson" reported that the Harvard Kennedy School spokesperson declined to comment on Biden's remarks.

According to reports by The Washington Post and others, the Trump administration recently requested Harvard University to reform its management structure and admission policies, which Harvard refused. On April 14th, the Trump administration announced that it would freeze $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in multi-year contract payments to Harvard University. Harvard President Alan Garber said on the same day that the government's requests exceeded its authority.

In addition, according to a report by Reuters on the 16th, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also required Harvard University to share information about foreign student visa holders' "illegal and violent activities" as required by the Trump administration, or risk losing its qualification to enroll international students.
