So Americans need DEI admissions to get into Harvard now?

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

American taxpayers don't need to be funding (through grants, scholarships, etc) 1/4 of their student body when they're from other countries.

I expect there will be plenty of revenge taken on the hedge fund and tech bros who led us to this place.

Taxpayer money goes to grants, not tuition.

Harvard does not give scholarships, only financial aid, which comes from alumni giving and the endowment.

Some foreign graduate students may get paid from federal grant money for the research work they do.

Graduate students at the Business School, the Law School, perhaps the Medical School, perhaps other schools, benefit zero from federal money.

But if it makes you feel good to be outraged that your tax dollars are paying for foreign students, you go right ahead and live it up.

They aren’t.

There that was easy.

I don’t want tax money going to fund Nazi musk in his sketchy businesses and scams. Can we claw that back?

With an endowment of over 50 Billion, why would it?

Agree; this is all just a giant nothing-burger for Harvard; trump can’t do anything to Harvard because trump is too weak, powerless, and frightened.

Great! Glad it won't bother Harvard. Moving on...

No federal funds ever part of the endowment, right? I'm happy for foreign students to come here for an education, not to protest and cause disturbances.

How much do you think soon-to-be-former Harvard students from Qatar would pay for a T-shirt that says "My government gave Trump a plane and all I got..."

Then why punish a whole group for the actions of a small fraction of that group?

I don't. As far as I'm concerned, Harvard and Columbia should have expelled the foreign students who engaged in protests.

What's wrong with protesting?

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.

And Harvard is not entitled to federal monies. If they don't want to be under the government’s thumb, they have the option of not taking any federal funding.

Donald Trump is not entitled to make micromanagement a condition of getting federal funds. These are appropriated funds, not Donald trumps personal money.

You don't “micromanage” $5 billion dollars. You macro manage it when it is being given to an organization that doesn’t comply with the civil rights laws.

What was broken?
