Trump revokes Harvard student visas

[jon-nyc]

Seems unnecessarily cruel to do that to existing students, as opposed to revoking it for new students. They have to transfer or leave midway through their education.

1. More lawsuits.
2. Offshore campus. Still Harvard, just not in the USA.

1, for sure.

2, hard to pull that off by August. Plus it would need to be in a location that agreed to give visas to all 6700 international students from all over the world.

So Harvard has 160 Israeli students who now have to transfer or go home as punishment for Harvard’s antisemitism.

Nice.

Harvard filed suit today. 72 page suit and 59 page temporary restraining order. Clearly they saw this coming.

Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has just completed her first year at Harvard University but the ban imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on foreign students studying there could jeopardise her continued studies.

TRO granted.

Very good as the students didn’t even know what if any grace period they had to try to make alternative plans.

I wonder if Trump was rejected by Harvard back in the 60's and has held a grudge ever since.

It isn't the least likely explanation of what's going on.

Never seen that happen before.
