Kristi Noem Blocks Harvard from Enrolling Foreign Students

Neil Munro 22 May 2025

The federal government has blocked Harvard University’s ability to welcome foreign students as the university resists President Donald Trump’s popular and constitutionally mandated policy of ending racial favoritism in government-funded schools.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” said a statement from Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. She added:

    It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.

The cut-off is also intended to help end Harvard’s policy of racial favoritism when selecting American students.

If continued, the policy will open up an additional 1,000 slots for American students each year.

They will immediately file in the courts and win.  We have uber liberal judges, and even the ones Republican appointed are not worth a good BM.  Our country is being destroyed not only by Dems, but across the board by folks with law degrees.  Worthless!

These vendettas are going to backfire in the long run. People do not like heavy-handed right wing government any more than they like left wing heavy handed government. The average citizen just wants an orderly society, and to be left alone.

Who is the "average" citizen?  Who defines an  "orderly" society and what does it look like, Professor?

The average citizen is a statistical construct based entirely on the sampling in the poll, polls which are often conducted in urban areas, which tend to be leftist, and are easily skewed by paying attention to demographics.

Folks who live in rural areas who don't have time for that are often underrepresented, and will hang up at the first sign of a biased question if they even respond.
