It’s a little sad that you seem to think that the motivation behind the Trump administration’s attack on Harvard and higher ed in general is an attempt to level the admissions playing field for US citizen students. It’s about power and control and is right out of the authoritarian playbook and every dictator has done it before.

Also, if you knew the first thing about other countries and their universities, you would know that most in the world accept foreign students and many accept a whole bunch of them. And where did you get that 5% number for a cap for foreign students. Did you pull it out of the air when you claimed it was “normal” for “most schools”?


He totally pulled the 5% number out of thin air.

Fortunately, NYT has some data:

Which countries allow foreign students to engage in protests?


Antisemitic protests, specifically.

Harvard is hiding the disciplinary records of antisemites. That is what this about.

Apparently they said antisemitic slogan "Free Palestine" which is now classified as being equivalent to "Heil Hitler"

Which country has historically itself out as the beacon of freedom, democracy and free speech? Lately, it has definitely not been the USA. I guess all history has an ending. But to answer your ridiculous question, international students in the UK may participate in protests.


Free speech is one thing. Blocking streets and buildings, disrupting campus activities and classes, intimidating people, trashing buildings, etc is not free speech and not allowed in UK. Foreign students should welcome the opportunity to be here. Otherwise, return home.


Funnily enough, universities here don't "allow" disruptive protests either. Those kids get in trouble. Next.


So then why did disruptive protests contunue at Columbia?


+1 because not so secretly, admin approved.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. Even breathing air can be antisemitic if it has the potential to decrease the oxygen supply for Jewish students.

Donnie and Barron were rejected from Harvard.

Obama and his daughter were admitted.

That’s what this is about. Another case of Trump trying to get back at people that hurt his precious feelings.

All the free ones.

I don’t know who told you that people here don’t have 1A rights, but you should stop parroting it. It makes you look like a dolt.


Your post makes you sound like a dolt, and a spoiled, entitled one at that. I doubt seriously that a racist klansman like David Duke would be welcome to express his views, disrupt classes, and block streets in any "free country."


I responded to a post about protesting. You’re moving the goalpost and pretending it makes me look dumb. It’s not me looking dumb here, honey.

So stupid. Vote for Trump because your kid didn't get into Harvard? Okay, who cares if we have a recession as long as Harvard gets a black eye for some reason.

Good thing that's not what they said, they said 34% of 45%, but also...who cares? If it's a good school, it's a good school.

Nah, because Israeli snipers have contests to see who can kill more peaceful protestors by targeting their kneecaps, children included. One even recorded 42 kneecaps. What a fun contest!

Probably Columbia too.
Isn’t it odd that Trump is not concerned about any other universities? Trump is such a transparent whiner.

JD Vance called out Europe, and particularly England, for not protecting free speech.
