Trump threatens to give Harvard a tough time
Trump Increases Pressure on Harvard Amid Ongoing Dispute
The ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University over the latter's anti-Semitic protests and diversity programs has intensified. The U.S. President has publicly expressed his displeasure with Harvard, expressing that the university is treating the nation with disrespect and seeking confrontation.
In a recent press conference at the White House, when asked about Harvard, President Trump stated, "Harvard needs to behave. They want to show how smart they are, and they're going to get a kick in the butt."
The Trump administration has been accused of targeting universities with a left-leaning bias, including Harvard. The government has threatened to cut federal funds and prevent the university from admitting international students. As a result, Harvard is currently fighting the administration's demands in court.
The U.S. Department of State has also reportedly stopped scheduling new visa appointments for foreign students due to expanded social media activity checks. This move is said to affect students who may have participated in pro-Palestinian protests.
As the legal battle between Harvard and the Trump administration continues, a federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the administration from enforcing any measures that would restrict Harvard's enrollment of foreign students. The university argues that international students are essential to its identity and operations.
However, the most recent information available does not provide updates on Trump's involvement or disputes related to anti-Semitic protests at U.S. universities.
