What is Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program that Trump admin has revoked
The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a program that allowed Harvard University to enroll international students. The New York Times cited a letter sent to he institution by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to report that the admin has revoked the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification. 'I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked,' the letter read, according to the NYT. This comes amid Harvard and the Trump administration's tussle about key programs. The president has been putting pressure on the college to fall in line with his agenda. The university was notified about the latest halt on Thursday as a part of the Department of Homeland Security's investigation, The New York Times added, citing sources. Neither Harvard nor Trump officials have made a formal statement about the latest blow. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program, administered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that oversees international students and exchange visitors at institutions like Harvard University on F-1 (academic students), M-1 (vocational students), and J-1 (exchange visitors) visas. S EVP certification allows Harvard to enroll international students, who make up over 27% of its student body (about 6,700 students in 2024–25), per CNBC. The program requires Harvard to use the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to report data such as enrollment status, academic progress, and disciplinary records to ensure visa compliance, per ICE. SEVP ensures students maintain full-time study and adhere to visa conditions, while Harvard's International Office supports compliance through visa advising and SEVIS reporting, per

CVLB Sarawak warns e-hailing operators over illegal drivers without permits
Kong says the CVLB Sarawak had identified platforms such as Capto and MyRide for operating without the necessary Intermediate Business Licence in the state. KUCHING (May 16): The Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) Sarawak has issued a stern warning to e-hailing operators allegedly allowing drivers without valid e-hailing vehicle permits (EVPs) to operate, stressing that such actions pose serious safety risks and violate existing transport regulations. Its chairman Michael Kong said the board had identified platforms such as Capto and MyRide for operating without the necessary Intermediate Business Licence (Lesen Perniagaan Pengantara) in Sarawak. 'These operators are in clear breach of the law, and we will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement actions against them. 'CVLB Sarawak will also work closely with other relevant authorities to curb these illegal operations and ensure full compliance with regulatory frameworks,' he said in a statement today. He emphasised that the EVP serves not only to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of drivers on the road, but also to safeguard both passengers and drivers in the event of untoward incidents. 'Without an EVP, a driver's vehicle insurance is typically rendered void when used for commercial e-hailing purposes. 'This exposes not just the vehicle owner to significant personal liability, but also places passengers and other road users at considerable risk,' he said, urging all e-hailing drivers and operators to comply fully with the relevant laws and regulations. 'CVLB Sarawak remains committed to upholding the safety, integrity, and professionalism of the commercial transport sector. 'The public's trust and well-being must never be compromised for profit or convenience.' CVLB e-hailing operators illegal drivers permits

More women view climate change as their number one political issue
A new report from the Environmental Voter Project (EVP), shared first with The 19th, finds that far more women than men are listing climate and environmental issues as their top priority in voting. The nonpartisan nonprofit, which focuses on tailoring get out the vote efforts to low-propensity voters who they've identified as likely to list climate and environmental issues as a top priority, found that women far outpace men on the issue. Overall 62 percent of these so-called climate voters are women, compared to 37 percent of men. The gender gap is largest among young people, Black and Indigenous voters. The nonprofit identifies these voters through a predictive model built based on surveys it conducts among registered voters. It defines a climate voter as someone with at least an 85 percent likelihood of listing climate change or the environment as their number one priority. 'At a time when other political gender gaps, such as [presidential] vote choice gender gaps, are staying relatively stable, there's something unique going on with gender and public opinion about climate change,' said Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the organization. While the models can predict the likelihood of a voter viewing climate as their number one issue, it can't actually determine whether these same people then cast a vote aligned with that viewpoint. The report looks at data from 21 states that are a mix of red and blue. Based on polling from the AP-NORC exit poll, 7 percent of people self-reported that climate change was their number one priority in the 2024 general election, Stinnett said. Of those who listed climate as their top priority, they voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by a 10 to 1 margin. The EVP findings are important, Stinnett says, because they also point the way to who might best lead the country in the fight against the climate crisis. 'If almost two thirds of climate voters are women, then all of us need to get better at embracing women's wisdom and leadership skills,' Stinnett said. 'That doesn't just apply to messaging. It applies to how we build and lead a movement of activists and voters.' Though the data reveals a trend, it's unclear why the gender gap grew in recent years. In the six years that EVP has collected data, the gap has gone from 20 percent in 2019, and then shrunk to 15 percent in 2022 before beginning to rise in 2024. In 2025, the gap grew to 25 percentage points. 'I don't know if men are caring less about climate change. I do know that they are much, much less likely now than they were before, to list it as their number one priority,' he said. 'Maybe men don't care less about climate change than they did before, right? Maybe it's just that other things have jumped priorities over that.' A survey conducted by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, a nonprofit that gauges the public's attitude toward climate change has seen a similar trend in its work. Marija Verner, a researcher with the organization, said in 2014 there was a 7 percent gap between the number of men and women in the U.S. who said they were concerned by global warming. A decade later in 2024, that gap had nearly doubled to 12 percent. There is evidence that climate change and pollution impact women more than men both in the United States and globally. This is because women make up a larger share of those living in poverty, with less resources to protect themselves, and the people they care for, from the impacts of climate change. Women of color in particular live disproportionately in low-income communities with greater climate risk. This could help explain why there is a bigger gender gap between women of color and their male counterparts. In the EVP findings there is a 35 percent gap between Black women and men climate voters, and a 29 percent gap between Indigenous women and men. Jasmine Gil, associate senior director at Hip Hop Caucus, a nonprofit that mobilizes communities of color, said she's not really surprised to see that Black women are prioritizing the issue. Gil works on environmental and climate justice issues, and she hears voters talk about climate change as it relates to everyday issues like public safety, housing, reproductive health and, more recently, natural disasters. 'Black women often carry the weight of protecting their families and communities,' she said. 'They're the ones navigating things like school closures and skyrocketing bills; they are the ones seeing the direct impacts of these things. It is a kitchen table issue.' The EVP survey also found a larger gender gap among registered voters in the youngest demographic, ages 18 to 24. Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez, the president of youth voting organization NextGen America, said that in addition to young women obtaining higher levels of education and becoming more progressive than men, a trend that played out in the election, she also thinks the prospect of motherhood could help explain the gap. She's seen how young mothers, particularly in her Latino community, worry about the health of their kids who suffer disproportionately from health issues like asthma. Her own son has asthma, she said: 'That really made me think even more about air quality and the climate crisis and the world we're leaving to our little ones.' It's a point that EVP theorizes is worth doing more research on. While the data cannot determine whether someone is a parent or grandparent, it does show that women between ages of 25 to 45 and those 65 and over make up nearly half of all climate voters. Still, Ramirez wants to bring more young men into the conversation. Her organization is working on gender-based strategies to reach this demographic too. Last cycle, they launched a campaign focused on men's voter power and one of the core issues they are developing messaging around is the climate crisis. She said she thinks one way progressive groups could bring more men into the conversation is by focusing more on the positives of masculinity to get their messaging across. 'There are great things about healthy masculinity … about wanting to protect those you love and those that are more vulnerable,' she said. There are opportunities to tap into that idea of 'men wanting to protect their families or those they love or their communities from the consequences of the climate crisis.'
