Harvard University said it would turn over employment forms for thousands of staff to comply with demands from the Department of Homeland Security.

The federal inquiry applies to all current employees and any individual who worked for the university in the past year, Harvard said late Tuesday in a message to its community. Federal regulations entitle the government to review paperwork known as Form I-9 documents, which include information on employment eligibility.
