WTF are you talking about? Who is "funding"?

American taxpayers. Check your comprehension.
Why is Harvard getting federal aid to host foreigners?

You seem to have missed this part:
Ajjawi wrote that he has also contacted AMIDEAST, the non-profit organization that awarded him a scholarship to study in the U.S., which is now providing him legal assistance.

1. Zero federal grants?
2. How much was the scholarship?

You have to be a US Citizen to have access to US government financial aid.

Seriously. What ignorance. One of the reasons universities like international students so much is because they aren't eligible for federal financial aid, so most are full-pay. Of course you have exceptions, like this young man.

Link to that State Dept page please?

I’m confused. How is this young man an exception?

Or the long-term value to the United States of having foreigners with American educations.

This organization has been in existence since 1951. Please tell us about that “long term value”.
Thank you.

What organization?

AMIDEAST. How much cash did they give for this scholarship?

What does that matter????

Because he’s not full-pay, he’s on an AMIDEAST scholarship.

Harvard is getting full tuition for this student. It's being paid by AMIDEAST. This is how scholarships work. Another entity pays the tuition for the student who won the scholarship.

You do realize that you're responding to more than one poster, right?

+1. Seriously. More than 1 million overseas students come to the US every year to start studies. Universities like it because it shows the university to be a "world leader" but the situation has gotten absurd, with little SLACs like my own boasting about its huge international student body. All the colleges follow Harvard. Yes, Harvard, Yale, etc. are world-class universities but not all institutions in the U.S. but due to the ranking publications, ALL institutions now have to seek out student bodies that come from all 50 states and 83 countries, and that's just not right.

If you think your alma mater should be admitting fewer international students, write a letter and withhold your alumni donation. But this boy earned a spot, won a scholarship, was cleared for a US visa by the Embassy and through a rigorous process in his home country, and then was denied at the airport. That's ludicrous. You have to be able to see that.

Seriously. Also, you act as though these universities have tons and tons of international students. They don't.

Harvard's entering class is 12% international students.
Even a STEM-focused school like Stanford is only 13%.
MIT is 10%.

Now, certain grad programs have much higher percentages, but that's a separate issue from what we're discussing here.

They obviously found something on his phone or laptop they didn’t see earlier. It happens.
