You mean you want immigrants to take the place of Americans at even more schools. 

 

But no white capitalists that want to assimilate, right?

Google told me:

27 per cent of students at Harvard are foreign students.

59 per cent of foreign students leave the USA after studies.

To stay they need to work under specific conditions and then apparently need a business to sponsor them.

They must of course be studying if they want to graduate. Opportunities to stay are limited - an employee would only sponsor you surely if you are highly valuable to them. 

Not sure if this is relevant though.

In fact, I would dearly like to see Harvard go down the drain.

Whether or not they have to study to graduate depends on the discipline. 

 

"Harvard professors have reported concerns over grade inflation for years. This year, 71 percent of those who responded to The Crimson’s survey of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences said that grade inflation was “very much” or “somewhat” a problem in their departments. In December 2013, administrators revealed that the median grade at the College was an A- and the most commonly awarded grade was an A."

Why are you claiming the administration is "arbitrarily singling out Harvard"?

 

The other schools are complying. 

These Trump haters and Dems really lose sight of what is going on with Harvard and why Trumps administration is going after them. Blinded simply because they do not approve of anything Trump does. Meaningless of course because they have lost sight of being an American or living without fear in the USA. 

 

These international students and some faculty promote American hate, Semitism as well as other topics that goes against what I am sure the Trump haters and Dems stand for anyway. They are just angry Trump is doing it. Schools have a responsibility to educate these kids. It is not their job to promote terrorists or anti-american hate. The schools lost their vision and because the money flows from these international students they permit the wrong ideology that every school should be promoting.

 

This is not about freedom of speech. This is about allowing anti-semitism into the school and granting them the freedom to promote terrorism as well as hate towards the USA. 

 

 

When will TUG and the others understand this? The school encourages it. They refuse to be checked for this. 

The president has every right to put an end to it. the school has the right to promote freedom of speech and this is not about being free to say what you want. It is about promoting terrorism and hate. Teaching the gullible kids to follow anti-semitism and become anti-american. 

 

I am sure if this was in Texas and about religion, that these AN members would be hooting praises at the government for halting religious fervor to go out and kill every non-believer. We have laws that Biden( bidens handlers) seemed to forget and allowed this to happen.

Complying with what, exactly?  Are there are standards involved? Any regulations of guidelines?  

 

Sorry if I'm not up to speed on this. I haven't looked into it.  It seems like the State Department may have just decided Harvard was allowing its students, including foreign students with visas, to terrorize other students.  

 

OK. Did 30 seconds of research.

 

Apparently, schools that admit foreign students do so by was you a special program called the SEVP.  This program has a set of requirements generally applicable to all schools that wish to admit foreign students on visas.  Those rules are published.  

 

In the case of Harvard, the school was asked to provide all the documentation it had concerning the records kept and rule violations. Harvard has furnished some of the requested information, but not all of it.

 

As a result, they were given a time window of 72 hours during which they could provide the requested information.  They did not comply.

 

So, maybe the US government was justified. We'll see.  I'm sure the courts can rule however they want and invent a rationale for whatever they rule.

I am not that up to speed on it either, but there is this from Harvard:

 

"Harvard is just one of dozens of schools targeted by the Trump administration in recent weeks. Last month, the Department of Education sent letters to 60 universities, including Columbia, Northwestern, the University of Michigan, and Tufts, threatening enforcement actions for noncompliance with anti-discrimination provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The administration has taken the additional step of freezing research funding at several institutions."

But this is a different set of circumstances.  This is not about the Department of Education or any of its supposed threats to schools "targeted by the Trump administration."   That may well have happened, but this is a different issue, I think.  

 

The State Department is responsible for issuing visas, including foreign student visas, and the Department of Homeland Security acting together with the Dept of State with respect to foreign students, set up a program called the SEVP.  In order to obtain SEVP certification, the schools must keep a set of records:

 

Standard SEVP Requirements for All Schools
    •    SEVP-certified schools must generally:
    •    Maintain accurate student records (enrollment, academic progress, attendance).
    •    Report changes in student status to SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).
    •    Update the Form I-17 for material changes (like address or leadership changes).
    •    Allow SEVP to conduct on-site reviews at any time.
    •    Apply for recertification every two years.
    •    Schools must comply with federal laws and regulations, and ensure their programs and operations meet       SEVP standards.

 

So, it appears as though the Trump administration was just asking for records the school was supposed to be maintaining.  How is that a problem?  I wonder if they have asked for similar records from other schools?

Trump's already had more nationwide injunctions against him in 60 days than Biden had in 4 years.  15, vs 14 for the entire 4 year Biden term and 12 over Obama's entire 8 year terms.

 

Trump had 64 in his first term, and is on track to have 360 during this term.  

 

And here's what Justice Kagan said about that:

 

In 2022, when President Biden faced a fraction of the injunctions imposed against Trump, Justice Elena Kagan publicly condemned the use of universal injunctions in an interview at Northwestern University School of Law. She lashed out at the obvious “forum shopping” to get before favorable courts and said “It just cannot be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal [appellate] process.” She added, “You look at something like that and you think, that can’t be right.”

 

Of course, she said that when it was Biden's turn in the barrel.  We'll see if she flip flops now that it's Trump's turn.
