DHS has officially revoked Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification

DHS has officially revoked Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, meaning that they can no longer enroll international students at the university and any of Harvard's existing foreign students must transfer out or lose their legal status.

...

This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.

It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.

They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law.

Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.

Secretary Kristi Noem

President Boasberg may have something to say about this.

I feel bad for those foreign grad students, particularly in the STEM fields, who are good at what they do, but now must move. The biggest problem for them is that all the grants that paid for their research stays with the Harvard professors, so other universities will have to scramble to get funds for them.

Oh well, too bad.

SCREW the Nazified Harvard!
Harvard teaches, indeed. It teaches that blood-thirsty savagery and groundless hate can be made “respectable.” It teaches us how a few evil people can infiltrate the highest echelons of “privilege” such as at Harvard...and destroy what it took hundreds of years to build.
And it teaches us how parents can throw away nearly a half million dollars sending their kiddos to a once-respectable college that we won’t hire anybody from, not a one. Fortunately, there are still many good colleges we can hire from (and give gifts, contributions, bequests to). F*** Harvard!

Harvard is also in bed with CCP. Their Chinese students are required to spy for CCP.
Think about how much research and technology is being stolen for use by the US chief enemy.
The FBI and DOJ need to set up shop there.

I find it interesting that Steve Bannon continues to call out both Madison and Ann Arbor along with the Ivy League.

Harvard has a very low applicant acceptance rate. About 5% typically from a large pool of applicants. Kicking out the troublemakers to make room for better applicants is a good thing. Killing DEI another related good thing. Applicants should not be accepted based on skin color or blending in foreigners for diversity reasons. Harvard has some of the best university facilities in the world and they are improving them every day with new construction paid for with their 54-billion-dollar endowment. Cutting federal funding to private schools like Harvard is a good thing. They will survive and thrive.
