I hope Harvard (and other universities) holds out, perseveres until we can get rid of this corrupt Regime.

"Though I’m sympathetic to the idea of Making Harvard (more) American Again, that doesn’t seem to be the administration’s goal."

Why does this have to be a thing? Nothing wrong with bringing the world to us. Many top international students will stay and contribute to our society and economy.

Why are some Americans so xenophobic? Why must commerce--for the sale of education is part of that--be aimed only at domestic consumers? Stop legitimizing Trump's complete BS "policy"--here's a guy who does business all over the world and doesn't think twice about it.

The author is from Arizona. Apparently he's worried that those pesky illegals are crossing the Arizona border to make their way to Harvard...as janitors and food court workers.

I give Harvard credit for standing up to the government’s BS. Foreign students are there because they are worth their weight in gold. Literally and figuratively! If there’s any issue with disciplinary problems then I’m sure they’re treated just like American students. The blending of cultures makes them unique among us.

I love it when the courts put the PINO TACO in his place! As Bugs Bunny used to say, "What a maroon!"

I've always thought the vendetta against Harvard was a lot more personal than the excuses floated into the blogosphere by Trump, Noem, Vance, etc. I'd encourage investigative reporting that examined whether or not the loudest voices to hang Harvard out to dry are coming from people who didn't get into Harvard or whose kid applied and wasn't accepted.

Miracle of miracles: there still seem to be "normal" republicans, but did you vote for the orange felon?

Sorry, but you lost all credibility with me as soon as I read the line about you being "sympathetic to" Making Harvard (more) American Again. That is the type of ridiculous statement that elevated Trump (and his Trumpets) to power and created this toxic environment we live in today.

To me that's an "enabler," rather than a "contrarian," belief. It's definitely NOT what I thought I was subscribing to here. Very disappointing!

I know the Constitution bans bills of attainder. Somehow the use of Executive Orders by the President that have the same effect as bills of attainder ought to be inherently and fundamentally illegal as well. What am I missing? Why is it legal for Agent Orange to do what the Congress is not allowed to do?

And to private entities! Law firms and colleges. What business/service sector is next?

Harvard is a private institution, Mr. Richer. I don't see that making Harvard more American is going to be the redult of Trump's feud with Harvard.

I wish Harvard could recover attorney fees for having to defend this fascist effort.

It is no more complicated than Barron was rejected by Harvard.

Is it true that Barron Trump applied to and was not accepted by Harvard?

I think it's more likely that the vulgarian knows he, himself, could never have been accepted as Old Man Fred's influence didn't go that far. I cannot see Melania allowing her son to even apply to Harvard. Too far away physically and emotionally.
