President Donald Trump launched a renewed offensive against Harvard University on Friday, defending his administration바카라s attempt to block the Ivy League institution from enrolling new international students and accusing the university of withholding information about foreign enrollees.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump claimed that nearly 31 percent of Harvard바카라s student body is composed of foreign nationals, asserting that the university has failed to provide details about these students despite repeated demands from his administration.
바카라Why isn바카라t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student바카라s education?바카라 Trump wrote. 바카라We want those names and countries.바카라
The president also criticized Harvard바카라s financial practices, claiming the university holds $52 million and should 바카라stop asking for the Federal Government to continue granting money.바카라 He suggested that federal funding be contingent on compliance with government requests for data on international students.
바카라Harvard has $52,000,000. Use it,바카라 he added. 바카라We give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.바카라
Court Blocks Trump Administration Move
The comments come just hours after a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from revoking Harvard바카라s ability to admit foreign students through the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). The administration had taken the unprecedented step earlier this week, citing concerns over national security, foreign influence, and campus unrest.
In a sharply worded letter, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem notified Harvard that its SEVP certification was 바카라revoked effective immediately.바카라 Reports said that Noem accused the university of 바카라fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.바카라
Harvard quickly responded with a lawsuit, calling the decision a 바카라blatant violation바카라 of the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Filed in Boston federal court, the complaint argues that the government바카라s action would cause 바카라immediate and devastating바카라 harm to more than 7,000 international students enrolled at the university.
바카라With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard's student body,바카라 the university said in its filing. 바카라International students who contribute significantly to the university and its mission.바카라
Ongoing Legal Battle and Political Tensions
This latest clash is part of a broader legal and political battle between the Trump administration and elite academic institutions. Harvard is already involved in multiple legal disputes with the White House, including lawsuits over alleged interference in its curriculum, admissions policies, and hiring practices.
Trump바카라s attacks align with his ongoing campaign narrative targeting elite universities, immigration policies, and what he characterizes as the erosion of American values within higher education.
The court바카라s injunction allows Harvard to maintain its certification for now, but further hearings are expected in the coming.
