Suspension of Harvard University's eligibility to enroll international students, current foreign students must transfer, old Trump plays this hand well
【Breaking】Harvard international students suddenly faced with "eviction order"! Has the top American university been cut off from the global lifeline?
A U.S. government ban directly freezes Harvard University's eligibility to enroll international students! Thousands of F1 visa holders suddenly received "eviction orders" and must find a new home before the fall semester begins. This so-called freest and most open academic sanctuary in the world has unexpectedly closed its doors to overseas elites overnight?
This "self-inflicted wound" has long been in the making. In March this year, the White House secretly negotiated with Ivy League schools, demanding that the proportion of international students at each school must not exceed 18% (Harvard's current rate is as high as 23%). Even more explosive is that a certain tech giant was reported to have used alumni networks to send "customized talent" to Harvard, directly stepping on the White House's red line of preventing technology outflow.
Affected Shanghai girl Luna holds a full scholarship in astrophysics and cried at three in the morning while showing us her transfer list: "Princeton said their system crashed, MIT wants me to retake the GRE, even the Australian National University has started to block visas..." Her Indian roommate is worse off, considering transferring to a community college to maintain her green card queue qualification.
But Harvard clearly does not intend to sit and wait for its demise. The Board of Trustees has urgently launched a "Global Campus Plan" and is preparing to set up temporary teaching sites in Cambridge, UK, and Singapore. Even more astonishing, they dug up the education exemption clause from the McCarthy era of 1952 and hired the Attorney General from the Obama administration to form a legal team, vowing to fight the case to the Supreme Court.
Behind this turmoil is a brewing global talent competition. The UK has quietly relaxed the PSW visa, Australia has invested 2 billion Australian dollars to establish the "Pacific Scholarship", and even Germany has launched an English-taught "Fast Track Green Card" program. As the U.S. dismantles the Statue of Liberty's beacon, these expelled top minds are rewriting the world academic landscape.
