President Donald Trump issued an order on Wednesday Barring International Students from entering the US to study at Harvard University quoting “concerns of national security”.
Moving is an escalation in President’s permanent Feud with Harvard and other universities.
In addition to the prohibition of incoming students, Trump also gave State Secretary Marco Rubio Go-forward to start seizing the visas of foreign students studying at the Faculty.
Trump argues that Harvard refused to give his administrative information on “known illegal activities” on his campus allegedly committed by international students.
The Trump administration previously signaled that he would try to prevent Harvard from registered international students, but the Federal Judge issued a ban on stopping the white house to interfere in college.
The president seems to be interfering in enrolling on the side student Harvard in other means.
“Reception in the United States to study at the” elite “American university is a privilege, not the right,” the general lawyer Pam Bondi He said at the X. “This department for justice will vigorously defend the President’s proclamation that suspends the entry of new foreign students to Harvard University on the basis of national security. “
Harvard issued an answer to the Trump Administration order.
“This is another illegal retaliation step that has taken the administration in opposition to the first amendment rights,” said Jason Newton University spokesman in the statement. “Harvard will continue to protect their international students.”
The Trump White House required Harvard overhaul its reception and disciplinary policies in April or face that it lost its funding. He also accused the Faculty of Anti-Semitism for handling pro-Palestinian student protests.
Harvard – unlike other universities, such as Colombia -, refused to bend for the pressure of the president. In response, the White House has blocked More than $ 2 billion in federal financing from university.
Since then, Trump was on a mission to get Harvard to adhere with his orders. At the beginning of May, he threatened to denounce the status of the exempt Harvard’s tax, and later considered a three billion dollars in the grants of the University of Trade Schools.
Summer LawrencePresident Emeritus at Harvard and the former Secretary of the Treasury under the President Bill Clinton, he called on Trump’s move “criminal extortion.”
“President @ RealDonaldtrump’s Salvo v. @Harvard obviously represents punitive exemplation, not seriously thinking through national security promotion policy. I hope that the judiciary will restrain the president in the name of the law and constitution.” wrote on x.
As he said that “Harvard should be made of various changes,” the “extortion of the wrong way to bring them in the ultimate will prove counterproductive in terms of our national safety and violates the main universities of contributions.”
