Harvard University said on July 29 that it will hand over employment forms for thousands of university staff members as requested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but will not share records for those employed in student-only roles.

In an email to employees, viewed by The Epoch Times, the Ivy League school’s human resources office said it received a notice of inspection (NOI) and related subpoena from the DHS on July 8 seeking to inspect federal I-9 forms and supporting documentation for Harvard employees.
