The State Department will conduct a substantive investigation into Harvard's student, business, tourist, and other visas, the officials told Fox, to identify potential security vulnerabilities or other abuses of the system.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tried to block Harvard from enrolling international students, though a federal judge has temporarily halted the move after the college filed a complaint.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also paused all student visa appointments at U.S. consulates and embassies as his department reviews its vetting procedures.
