This is just Trump trying to use any tool at the govt's disposal to punish a private institution for defying him. If Harvard has violated civil-rights law, the remedies are written into the law. Cutting off its ability to enroll foreign students is not one of those remedies.

It’s actually crazy to me how many people don’t get this incredibly obvious point. The US’s elite educational institutions are (soon to be were, perhaps) a total cultural victory.

When Trump and Noem say that they are cutting off visas for Harvard students because of “DEI” concerns, they mean that Harvard admits non white males and has non white male faculty. DEI is just now code for white male supremacy.

We barely even blink at this nowadays, but it's just tyranny. It's one man imposing a massive tax on American businesses and consumers with no legal justification for the action and no underlying constitutional authority. Complete travesty.

One quarter of all startups with billion-dollar valuations have a founder who came here on a student visa. If we had eliminated student visas, Elon Musk would never have started Tesla and SpaceX. The gains to the U.S. from welcoming foreign students are immense.

Wish there was a way to convey to people supporting the admin’s cuts to the National Science Foundation and science funding more broadly that they’re in the process of destroying American science for at least a generation. Many genuinely seem not to understand this is happening.

Harvard University set to launch FREE college courses online for every US Citizen. Highlighting basic U.S. Government, understanding the Constitution, and How to recognize a Dictatorship takeover 101. Harvard University.

I wish more people understood the difference between criticizing something because you want to fix it and criticizing something because you want to destroy it.

Universities ranked by research output...look closely. Now that Harvard University has been kneecapped, there will be no U.S. university left in the top ten. Hats off to China. nature.com/nature-index/i…

The war on science in the US is already affecting private sector research like AlphaFold. Bears repeating but the private sector builds on top of things created by academic research for the public good. This hurts everyone.

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had proposed this, the GOP would be in the streets with pitchforks and torches. I guess the new "conservative" position is, "I want the state to know everything about me at all times." nytimes.com/2025/05/30/tec…

WTF?! Rep. Jared Moskowitz just exposed that Republicans are trying to sneak nearly $1 BILLION in bonuses to ICE agents into the spending bill. We can’t afford healthcare - but we’re all funding Trump’s unconstitutional masked deportation militia?

I think Alan Garber, president of Harvard University is missing the key point here. IT’S ABOUT ABSOLUTE CONTROL This administration wants to run the country and its establishments the same way Kim Jong Un runs North Korea in terms of control over any aspect of state linked

"Federal science budgets have been slashed. Stricter immigration policies have spread fear among international scientists working in the United States, and those who had hoped to. Graduate and postdoctoral students have had their visas canceled, or worry they will.
