How fucking harsh
-
Well that sounds fucking impossible.
-
TLDR:
The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.
DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.
-
Since when does the executive branch control what universities do with enrollment?
-
They can deny student visas
-
By denying all student visas

I never cared much for Harvard, the elitism, legacy enrollments, and all things snooty about it.
I have to say that they are they're crushing it on their defiance against this regime.
The Dean over at Columbia should take notes.
-
As snobby as it it is. It hosts all aspects of society. Harvard law school has a trap and skeet team that's very pro 2A. On its own it's not too shocking. But this is in very Blue Massachusetts.
Similar to how MIT has pistol and rifle clubs.
You have the opportunity to share various hobbies and political leanings all in a bubble of elitism.
-
Of the schools that can afford to mount a defense, it's Harvard.
-
Literally where lawyers are made.
-
They all can mount a defense.
No one is required to comply with nonsense.

Every single Ivy League school and many prestigious (like top 75ish) schools in America have an “endowment” worth x amount but also a whole separate money cannon if you piss off the alumni. I don’t donate directly to my university but I would if Trump came for them. And I’m, sadly, not a billionaire but they exist.
You can tell I’m not a billionaire because if I were, I wouldn’t be posting on this broke ass web site. I’d be off the coast of the Riviera in the hot tub on my yacht getting a foot massage from a mysterious, ethereal beauty known only as “La Marionnette.” (I’d have a team of old timey whalers to fend off the Orca attacks. I’m not as stupid as a real billionaire.)

You can do a lot of shit with 50 Billy in the bank. Other schools don't have the luxury. Which is a separate and more concerning problem.

If Harvard gives in, Trump will do this again.
Harvard is better off with the damage being done than by giving up things it doesn't have to give up and still having the damage done at a later point.
-
I can only imagine how many foreign-born lawyers exist among their alumni, who care personally enough about this matter to fight pro-bono.
-
They're in it for the long-haul. If they roll over now they'll absolutely get crushed. Letting people and organizations get away with defiance, even for a moment, is weakness and authoritarians can't ever appear weak.

Is this a small government?
-
-
So much for the "private" in the private sector lol
-
It's incredible how thoroughly the US is self-destructing, especially when it comes to its soft-power
-
God, I am not even from the US, but it makes me so mad... Fuck each and every Republican voter for voting for that mf!!
-
Don't forget to fuck the democrats who stayed home even harder.
-
There's quite few of them. Dont fall for their propaganda trying to divide and conquer
Point the finger at the plutocrats. Establish a democracy.
Trump is deeply unpopular and never would have stolen power if we had a democracy.
-
And the idiots who could have voted against it, but didn't

DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, "existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status." The revocation, which DHS said was the result of "pro-terrorist conduct," was first reported by The New York Times.
What does it mean that they “must transfer to lose”? Is she saying if they transfer they lose their status and that that transfer is being forced, or that they must transfer or lose it?
-
Typo? "or* lose..."
-
Tell us where the talking llama is and we’ll burn your house to the ground!
Uh, don't you mean 'or'?
Ugh! Tell us where the talking llama is or we’ll burn your house to the ground!
-
It reads like they are saying a student would have to transfer to lose status. So current students are fine, but if they transfer their visa is revoked.
-
-
just when i think they cannot get any lower.
-
Hold my beer!
