[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that Harvard and other US universities can do more to accept domestic students, but it should not be by force.  Vote with your feet. if you think that Harvard is not serving your purpose, apply to other schools. Sooner or later, Harvard will self correct. But bullying to get what you want is not the way to go. n [/quote]

I'll say this about Trump - his political instincts are uncanny. When you dig down into the issue - should taxpayers be spending billions on supporting the richest and most prestigious university in America, a university where more than a third of students are foreign and which has a well-established pattern of propagating fringe progressive beliefs, or should we take that money and support trade schools for young Americans, I can guarantee that 90 percent of Americans are with Trump on this one. I suspect's Harvard's strategy will be to keep things tied up in court forever and wait out this administration and hope for a more Harvard-friendly president who will turn the tap back on. But the way it's being framed - as a class issue - this is a losing issue for Democrats to push back on. I think Harvard and the other schools where more than a third of students are international are on their own. [/quote]

I’m sure there’s an argument to be had over what level of foreign students is okay but it sounds like there’s a lot of grievance behind this comment. If Harvard wasn’t ‘propagating fringe progressive beliefs’ would you be okay with foreign students? No, I didn’t think so.

I don't like trump but I'm with him on this one!!

I lost my job to a student turned H1B visa non citizen - I think because he's male and I'm in a sexist industry.  Yes, I'm passed and I could do the job better.  I graduated summa cum laude from a less prestigious university than Harvard, but probably the equivalent to UT Austin which is where this guy went.[/quote]
