US president says it would jeopardize national security to allow university to keep hosting international students
Donald Trump signed a proclamation to restrict foreign student visas at Harvard University, the White House said on Wednesday.
The order would suspend for an initial six months the entry into the US of foreign nationals seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard. Trump declared that it would jeopardize national security to allow Harvard to continue hosting foreign students.
The proclamation is the US president’s latest attempt to choke the Ivy League school from an international pipeline that accounts for a quarter of the student body, and a further escalation in the White House’s fight with the institution.
Antisemitism is terrible but blanket xenophobia is A-OK
Clown country collapse continues.
Harvard should spin up a campus in an actual free country and start migrating staff and students there. Any country in the world would be thrilled to have Harvard.
Running out of free countries.
Gosh I sure hope Harvard can find some top-tier lawyers willing to come to their defense!
Well, yes, of course! I mean, for a hundred years Harvard hosted foreign students, but NOW they are a security threat.
It must be really hard to be a lawyer or judge facing these cases, knowing that if you laugh you are going to become the next national security threat.
