The Trump administration suddenly struck hard against Harvard University, directly canceling the school's recruitment of international students, ordering thousands of foreign students holding F1 visas to leave the country. This move is simply mind-blowing—one of the world's top academic strongholds turned on a dime and started pushing out talented students from various countries overnight!
This was premeditated. In March, the White House summoned Ivy League presidents for discussions, enforcing that the proportion of international students must not exceed 18% (Harvard is currently at 23%). An even more shocking revelation came when a tech giant was exposed for funneling "custom talent" to Harvard through the alumni association, directly hitting a nerve—apparently, the White House has long been on guard against technological leakage!
Luna, a student from Shanghai, holding a full scholarship offer in astrophysics, sent a transfer list at 3 AM: Princeton's system crashed, MIT forced her to retake the GRE, and even the Australian National University started tightening visa approvals. Her Indian roommate was in an even worse situation, preparing to transfer to a community college to maintain her green card queue eligibility.
But Harvard was not about to back down! The Board of Trustees activated Plan B overnight, setting up temporary campuses in Cambridge and Singapore. Even more aggressively, they dug up old laws from the McCarthy era and recruited the Attorney General from the Obama administration to form a legal team, determined to take the lawsuit to the Supreme Court.
This farce unveiled the hidden truth of the global talent war. The UK quietly relaxed PSW visa regulations, Australia invested 2 billion in a "Pacific Scholarship," and Germany introduced a fast-track path to citizenship for English-taught programs. The US itself dismantled the Statue of Liberty's signboard, resulting in the academic elites who were driven away now rewriting the global university landscape!
(Personal opinion: This isn’t about limiting immigration; it’s clearly about robbing talent! The White House has drawn a red line for Ivy League schools, making it clear they want to suppress Asian international students. Those students who changed their resumes at dawn, those geniuses forced to give up research, are the real loss for the US. Harvard could have a campus for over a hundred years, but this time it seems like they’re going to completely sever ties!)
