Not if they get aid.

Harvard is a private school!!!!!!!! They can choose to educate whoever they want!!!!!

They seem pretty reliant on public money for a "private" school.

They aren’t receiving money to operate; they are receiving money to perform services.

They aren’t “reliant” at all.

MAGAs are so fcking dumb.

I've only voted for democrats since Gore, but thanks.

Same. Agree with you as a Dem.

wow. really? link?
that's not right.

A public health crisis in one country can quickly become a public health crisis in all countries. It’s in our interest to have well educated public health officials everywhere.

Exactly. Harvard not getting tax money will hurt us, but it will not hurt Harvard.

Wrong. The research dollars can go to other places. Build new research pipelines. Harvard isn't the only school that can do research.

International students make up 43% of Oxford students.

60% of all graduate students are from outside the UK, as are 21% of all undergraduates.

Stats from Oxford’s web site.

They’re already in the world top five.
US is just going to keep falling, but go ahead and celebrate.

And? Who cares if a few extra Chinese and Indian IT nerds get in or not.

Same for the rowers. My DS was shocked by how international all of the rowing teams are. He went on official visits to Yale and Harvard and they were all older and from abroad.

Is it bc they are full pay? I don't actually understand the "why" here.

IT's largely because in other countries the kids start rowing at an earlier age and are more developed. They were interested in my DS because he is a unicorn in the sense that as a rower he had the academics to get in on his own (top stats, 1580 SAT, 4.0, merit scholar, etc.). Each team is required to keep track of their academic index and its collective. So a student like my son would pull up the average of the team. The shocking thing is how low the bar becomes because of that. And the thing that sucks is that even though my son is a good rower, be would never make it into the top boats, he would simply be there for his grades and the team index. It's insane. He ultimately decided not to row in college at the D1 level and chose the club route. IT's a pretty dirty business at the D1 level.

Wow. This is fascinating. I actually had no idea. Thanks for the background.

In this article - 59% of operating revenue comes from the federal government & 40% of students are international.

Well, it is much different now than 1901. Harvard WILL get obliterated without federal funding and tuition dollars from foreign students. There will be no money left for research at Harvard due to huge federal cuts in grants. That means research halts, which means no publications or patents, which means Harvard's ranking collapses. No foreign students means a massive chunk of their tuition dollars evaporates overnight.

It is a cataclysmic event for Harvard.

So pull ALL OF THEIR FUNDING. They can't have it both ways.

The funding being pulled from Harvard is primary grants to fund research. So the government is getting something out of the research they are funding...typically some sort of public good that has benefit to society at large. So if you cut research funding...hope you don't get a disease, because the cures aren't going to be coming from the USA-they'll be coming from places that value scientific research.

ANd that's exactly what every moron celebrating this doesn't understand. They never had a chance at getting into Harvard, but they WERE benefiting from all of the advances that Harvard is responsible for.

There are a lot of us democrats here who think US colleges and universities have gone too far with international admissions. Reign it back a smidge. Not to 0, that's draconian. But 3-6% seems right?
The politics behind this issue are not worth democrats fighting. Its a losing PR battle.
