Hmmm: Harvard’s student body has been, approximately:

1/3 foreign students (who usually pay full tuition), plus

1/3 legacy students, leaving:

Just 1/3rd of seats left for the rest of deserving high school students to fight over, especially without an athletic hook (at least the S.Ct took away Harvard’s racist admissions preference).

No wonder it’s nearly impossible to get into Harvard.

I have no problem with the administration’s move today. My high-achieving but unhooked children never had any realistic chance of getting in anyway.


Absolutely. It's important to recognize that U.S. taxpayers have poured billions into Harvard University, yet they are often excluded from accessing its resources and opportunities. This disparity raises serious questions about the value and return on investment for the public.


People are not entitled to seats at Harvard. And the federal government has NO place dictating this on any level.

Do you also think you’re entitled to be captain of the aircraft carrier your tax money bought? Harvard receives public funding for research that benefits all Americans.

They want to control WHAT Harvard teaches and who gets admitted.

Folks do not realize that Fox News and rightwing think tanks are going to control the operations of the Ivy League.

It's literally what Mao, Stalin, et al did to their universities.

I don't think so. As had been pointed out, Harvard was around long before Trump got here and will be around long after he's gone.

I guess Harvard will accept a lot more unqualified full-pay students. It will mean that Harvard will have to go back on their mission to pay for poor and middle income students. A class full of Andover and Sidwell kids. How very uninteresting, but Harvard does not have a choice and must hang on for four years.

I doubt that she’s qualified to work in the lunch room.

It’s an entire administration made up of halfwits and personality disorders, o way to know.

Doesn’t matter, in the end Harvard will win.


Harvard will definitely win.


Especially when Immigration Barbie goes on TV and explicitly states this is a retaliatory measure.

Probably all of them because they couldn't find their way out of a box never mind attend and pass Harvard classes.

The alien international student population at both UMD and UVA is both approximately 10%.

Read the letter the Administration sent to Harvard. They demanded that Harvard cede to the federal government decisions about who gets admitted, who gets hired, which topics get taught, and the content of courses.

This is being done in the name or ending anti-semitism.

I am not sure how this makes Jewish students safer or better off, particularly those international students who are, you know, Jewish.

He's already a lame duck. They can survive a couple years of nonsense. It is mindless destruction but it's not any kind of fatal blow. not even close.

No, but I do expect that the aircraft carrier would be used for my benefit instead of used to defend foreign countries and shoot me.

I understand that is the intention but will not happen.
