Trump suggests a 15 percent cap on foreign students at Harvard, other universities

Kristi Noemhomeland Security Secretary

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

Noem wrote on X about the punishment

I kind of figured I would be in the target group of Trump. I'm personally right in the middle of it, so an option for me would be to study abroad... I have applied to study at Oxford because of all the action" taken

said Molden, 21.

International students already represent the most tracked and vetted category of nonimmigrants in the United States. It is a poor use of taxpayer dollars,

said the NAFSA Association of International Educators non-profit

It's really unfortunate that this is the case for 18, 19, and 20-year-olds who came here without any family, and in most cases, haven't been to the US before,

said Sial, who is from Pakistan and hopes to be able to return to Harvard next academic year

He definitely liked Harvard way more (but) he doesn't want this amount of uncertainty surrounding his education,

I'm completely in the dark,

said 20-year-old Alfred Williamson, a Welsh-Danish physics and government student in his second year at Harvard

It's scary, because we think to ourselves that all our activity on social networks could be monitored, for example if we like pro-Palestinian posts or anti-Trump posts. All of that could see us denied a visa,

she said

When people start to self-silence, we are no longer living in a democracy,

When the news hit, I was in complete and utter shock,

said Williamson, an undergraduate who is working towards a double major in physics and government and who described his first year as the best year of his life

We're being used like pawns in the game that we have no control of, and we're being caught in this crossfire between the White House and Harvard, and it feels incredibly dehumanising."

But he

That's the only way you can deal with someone like Trump,

he said

But I want to make sure that the foreign students are people that can love our country

He added

I'm looking out for the country, and for Harvard, I want Harvard to do well, to be great again,

he said

Harvard has got to behave themselves. Harvard is treating our country with great disrespect, and all they're doing is getting in deeper and deeper,

Trump said, according to Reuters

Why isn't Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their students' education, nor do they ever intend to,

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday

I have no family in the US. I came here as an 18-, 19-year-old, and now I have to deal with all of this,

Harvard Undergraduate Association Co-President Abdullah Shahid Sial – a citizen of Pakistan – told CNN

I know many in our community are mourning the absence of our graduate Mahmoud Khalil,

Shipman said as some students jeered and walked out

The day I opened that acceptance letter was probably the best day of my life,

Gerdén said

It was bad enough to have the disruption within the audience, the day of celebration violated,

Harvard Chabad founder Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi told Jewish news organization The Forward

I think it will be quite hard, to be honest,

Gerdén told CNN
