Trump actions against Harvard 'over the top': Pat Toomey

() A federal judge Friday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a ban on Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

Harvard enrolls more than 6,700 foreign students on its campus. The White House blamed the order on the university creating an “unsafe and un-American” environment on campus, while Harvard says the order was punishment for not giving in to the administration’s political demands.

Harvard also had more than $2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts frozen by the administration.

Former GOP Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, who is a Harvard alum, joined ‘s “The Hill” and said while he believes the university has not done an adequate job in ensuring Jewish students feel safe on campus, the Trump administration should deescalate some of its actions against the school.

“I think the administration’s reaction is a bit over the top,” Toomey said. “I’m hoping to see a deescalation in this, and I think Harvard understands it’s in their best interest.”

Toomey said Harvard should make it clear to the public that it will take steps “to fix what needs to be fixed” when it comes to campus safety.
