DHS 網站上周剛更新，回答了我的關於什麽樣的”crime“需要報告的問題。 這麽看來哈佛沒有做錯。

Designated school officials (DSOs) must report in Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) within 21 days of any disciplinary action the school takes against a student as a direct result of a criminal conviction. Such action may include barring the student from campus, suspension, and expulsion of the student.

For additional information on reporting requirements:

• 8 CFR § 214.3(g)(1)
• 8 CFR § 214.3(g)(2)(ii)(D)

Warning: Disciplinary action that requires reporting in SEVIS is limited to action taken that is a direct result of a criminal conviction. Do NOT use this function to report actions that are not crime-related, such as:

• Placement on academic probation
• Student life infractions

Note: This does not terminate the student record.
