Wall Street Journal slams Trump admin for ‘short-sighted attack’ on Harvard

The Wall Street Journal slammed President Trump’s administration for delivering a “short-sighted attack” on Harvard University after banning the Ivy League institution from enrolling international students this week. 

The editorial board wrote that the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to rescind Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification on Thursday has thrown all of the school’s foreign students’ futures “in disarray.” 

“It’s also a short-sighted attack on one of America’s great competitive strengths: Its ability to attract the world’s best and brightest,” the board wrote in an editorial on Friday. 

“Most of Harvard’s foreign students are enrolled in graduate programs. Many assist with scientific research and teaching undergraduate courses,” the editorial board added. “Driving them out of Harvard will disrupt research projects and might cause some professors in the sciences to leave for other universities. This seems to be a goal of freezing Harvard’s research grants.”

  1. Again, all this is because Harvard, a school ranked number one for restrictions on freedom of speech and association on campus, is insisting on allowing open Jew hatred in the name of freedom of speech. Harvard is fighting Trump for the right to persecute Jews. And everyone is rallying around them.

    2. Can't believe I am in agreement with Dr. GI. I agree the antisemitism is rampant and they allow it. So they accepted funds with strings attached. Lehavdil in EY Ponevitch Yeshiva flies the Israeli flag once a year. Get rid of antisemitism and get your money back. Is that reasonable or unreasonable? As Yidden we should probably applaud it.

    3. Correct, but then you have to factor in Trump Derangement Syndrome in which, if Stalin were to come back to life today and condemn Trump, liberal Jews would rally and declare him a major visionary and a great friend of the Jewish community.
