Trump Tries to Break Harvard: ONLY AMERICAN STUDENTS ALLOWED - The Bulwark



The Trump administration is escalating its battle with Harvard, moving to block international student enrollment and threatening funding unless the university complies with demands for control over courses and student data.

It’s a political attack aimed at weakening elite institutions, but Harvard—wealthy and powerful—is unlikely to fold. The bigger threat is whether the courts will allow it. - 05/22/2025.

Trump isn't allowed to pull off shit like this. At worst, Harvard has enough resources to weather the Trumpian sharts, so this will mean nothing in the end.

Give them complete scholarships, it would be a drop in the bucket financially and the only people who this would cause issues to would be racists. It would be the right thing to do and it would "own" the idiots.
