Harvard said the move by the Trump administration is not legal.

The Trump administration has barred Harvard from allowing international students to enroll at the university, after the school lost its ability to use the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.

"As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' policies, you have lost this privilege," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a letter to the university.

According to the letter, she asked Harvard to give information over on student visa holder's "known" [illegal] activity; violent activity; threats to students or faculty; disciplinary actions taken as a result of being involved in a protest; information on whether the student obstructed the school's learning environment; and the coursework that the student is taking to maintain the visa status.

Harvard responded, but apparently didn't satisfy the Gazpacho.

Going after a prestigious institution best known for its law school? This'll be fun!
We saw what Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' Party did to Jews. We cannot let that happen again. Antisemitism has no place in America.

And anti-semitism includes anything critical of our policy toward Israel. But it's OK to be antisemitic about Jews who don't agree with our Israeli policy.

Yes, much of the American left is radically anti-Israel and anti-Jew.

They have indeed interfered with the schools, taking them over temporarily, making it unsafe for Jews. Had the Trump administration not stepped in a number of universities would be shut down.

A lot of them are easily manipulated. They listen to the same leaders and same sources of information, it is amazing how quickly they can be swayed. For example, all of a sudden there were all kinds of gender identifying pronouns and those who didn't go along with the crowd, whether worker or teacher, were ostracized.

Speaking out against the slaughter of innocents in Gaza is not antisemitism. And calling DEI racist is indeed a clever twist.

It's spiritual. Reasonable, Godly, people can and do disagree with some of Israel's actions. By and large, however, those who are frequently criticizing Israel are, in my humble opinion, being heavily influenced by dark, spiritual, forces.

That is up to the school to deal with, not the federal government. It is also not up to the government to decide they get to punish the school for not policing things"correctly".

And you agree that Harvard isn't entitled to receive taxpayer money, right?

Civil rights violations are a federal matter.

Racism is racism. Pretending racism only or mostly happens against blacks is the clever twist.
