TLDR:
The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.
DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.
Since when does the executive branch control what universities do with enrollment?
The private university can enroll whoever they want, but the executive branch literally controls immigration/foreign affairs. So the students can attend remotely.
The president cannot just order someone to be deported, it has to available under legislation. Not that the law matters anymore.
Didn’t you hear. Habeas Corpus means the president has the power to deport whoever he wants.

By denying all student visas
When it tries to be a wannabe fascist.
Slowly becoming less wannabe and more gonna be.
Not even gonna be, we’re there.
They can deny student visas
So much for the “private” in the private sector lol
I never cared much for Harvard, the elitism, legacy enrollments, and all things snooty about it.
I have to say that they are they’re crushing it on their defiance against this regime.
The Dean over at Columbia should take notes.
Of the schools that can afford to mount a defense, it’s Harvard.
They all can mount a defense.
No one is required to comply with nonsense.
Exactly, and by all mounting a defence, none are singles out.
Every single Ivy League school and many prestigious (like top 75ish) schools in America have an “endowment” worth x amount but also a whole separate money cannon if you piss off the alumni. I don’t donate directly to my university but I would if Trump came for them. And I’m, sadly, not a billionaire but they exist.
You can tell I’m not a billionaire because if I were, I wouldn’t be posting on this broke ass web site. I’d be off the coast of the Riviera in the hot tub on my yacht getting a foot massage from a mysterious, ethereal beauty known only as “La Marionnette.” (I’d have a team of old timey whalers to fend off the Orca attacks. I’m not as stupid as a real billionaire.)
You can do a lot of shit with 50 Billy in the bank. Other schools don’t have the luxury. Which is a separate and more concerning problem.
Bending the knee is for wimps.
Is this a small government?
If Harvard gives in, Trump will do this again.
Harvard is better off with the damage being done than by giving up things it doesn’t have to give up and still having the damage done at a later point.
They’re in it for the long-haul. If they roll over now they’ll absolutely get crushed. Letting people and organizations get away with defiance, even for a moment, is weakness and authoritarians can’t ever appear weak.
God, I am not even from the US, but it makes me so mad… Fuck each and every Republican voter for voting for that mf!!
And the idiots who could have voted against it, but didn’t
It’s incredible how thoroughly the US is self-destructing, especially when it comes to its soft-power
trump has a miserably tiny pee pee
Oh not you, bro. No, yours is mighty and tiny. Not miserable at all. Unless you’re a corrupt demented rapist and didn’t mention that part.
Ah I see, thanks
DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, “existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status.” The revocation, which DHS said was the result of “pro-terrorist conduct,” was first reported by The New York Times.
What does it mean that they “must transfer to lose”? Is she saying if they transfer they lose their status and that that transfer is being forced, or that they must transfer or lose it?
Typo? “or* lose…”
It reads like they are saying a student would have to transfer to lose status. So current students are fine, but if they transfer their visa is revoked.
Tell us where the talking llama is and we’ll burn your house to the ground!
Uh, don’t you mean ‘or’?
Ugh! Tell us where the talking llama is or we’ll burn your house to the ground!
just when i think they cannot get any lower.
Hold my beer!
