BOSTON - father of President Barack Obama was forced to leave Harvard University before completing his PhD in economics, because the school is concerned about his personal life and finances, according to the records of newly public of immigration.
Harvard had asked the Immigration and Naturalization Service to delay an application by Barack Hussein Obama SR. to prolong his stay at the United States, ""until what they decided what action they could take to get rid of him", responsible for immigration M.F. McKeon wrote in a memo of June 1964."
Harvard administrators, the memo said, "have difficulty with its financial arrangements and could not seem to discover how many wives he had."
A previous INS memo of McKeon, said that, while the eldest Obama has passed his exams and was entitled for academic reasons to stay and complete his thesis, the school was going to try and "cook something for him."
"They are planning on him saying that they will give him no money, and that he had better return to the Kenya and prepare his thesis at home", said the memo.
In May 1964, David d. Henry, Director of the international Bureau of Harvard, wrote to Obama to say that, while he had completed his formal course work, the Department of Economics and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is the money to support it.
"We have, therefore, come to the conclusion that you should end your stay in the United States and return to the Kenya to continue your research and writing your thesis," said Henry letter.
Application of Obama for a prolonged stay was dismissed by the INS. He left Harvard and - divorced from the mother of the President - returned to his native Kenya in July 1964. He did not complete his PhD.
Immigration, contained memos in the elder Obama of the file of the Immigration and naturalization, was given to a journalist for the Boston Globe in 2009 with a request for access to Information. The documents were first public Wednesday by the independent Arizona, a weekly newspaper. The Associated Press obtained copies of their Friday.
Harvard has released a statement Friday saying that he could nothing in its own records to support the accounts given in the notes to the INS.
"While we do not verify the accounts of conversations that took place nearly 50 years, there is a review of our existing files does any support for the language or implied intention described by the official Government of the United States in government documents,"the statement read."".
When Obama attended Harvard, the school faced serious constraints in the funding of research by international graduate students, the University said.
Spokeswoman Department of Homeland Security Matt Chandler refused to comment Friday, saying that the Ministry does not comment on specific cases of immigration.
Concerns about the personal lives of the Obama that he had studied at the United States had been raised previously, according to ins documents.
In 1961, while he was a student at the University of Hawaii, advise students of the school called an official immigration and said Obama had married recently Stanley Ann Dunham - mother of President - despite having already a woman at the Kenya.
According to a memorandum written by an official of the INS in Honolulu, the Advisor said Obama had been "running with several girls since he arrived here and last summer, it put on his playboy ways."
Obama said the Adviser that he had divorced his wife to the Kenya. He said a mother of the President of the same thing, even though she would later learn that it is a lie.
Obama works for an oil company, as an economist with the Government after his return to Africa, but his personal and professional lives deteriorate later. He died in a car accident in 1982, while the future President was 21 and a student at Columbia University.
