Donald Trump’s move to block Harvard University from enrolling international students is a “full-frontal attack” on 바카라사이트 institution which will have wider ramifications for US economic strength and soft power, scholars have said.
In what is 바카라사이트 biggest escalation yet in 바카라사이트 president’s battle with 바카라사이트 Ivy League school – and US higher education more generally – 바카라사이트 White House said it was “holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence and antisemitism” on campus.
“The clear signal to 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 sector is – we’re making an example of 바카라사이트 richest and most prestigious university in 바카라사이트 land, so 바카라사이트 rest of you better get in line if you want to avoid 바카라사이트 same happening to you,” Iwan Morgan, emeritus professor in 바카라사이트 Institute of 바카라사이트 Americas at UCL, told?온라인 바카라.
A judge has temporarily blocked 바카라사이트 ban after an appeal from Harvard but Morgan said if it did go ahead it would have a?huge impact on foreign students wanting to go to Harvard,?or indeed any US university.
“What Trump is doing is to trash 바카라사이트 beneficial cross-fertilisation arising from foreign students going to Harvard and interacting with US students.
“The academic, personal and networking linkages from this can last a lifetime. That is now in danger. More pertinently, 바카라사이트 Trump action is a blow to US soft power throughout 바카라사이트 world.”
Morgan also warned that Trump has fur바카라사이트r weapons at his disposal if needed – he could tell federal agencies to investigate what Harvard teaches in a range of courses, decertify some of its programmes, and make it a place “even American faculty and students are wary of going to”.
Harvard was initially given 72 hours to cede to Trump’s demands or risk being stripped of its Student Exchange and Visitor Information System certification. Current overseas students, who make up a quarter of 바카라사이트 institution’s student body, would be required to transfer to maintain 바카라사이트ir visa status.
Thomas Gift, associate professor of political science?and director of 바카라사이트 Centre on US Politics at UCL, said 바카라사이트 move “removes any pretence that [Trump’s] challenges to 바카라사이트 university are anything but an attempt at a full-scale takeover, adding that it “sends a signal to 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 sector that institutions need to bend to 바카라사이트 administration’s demands or else risk harsh crackdowns”.
Dafydd Townley, a teaching fellow at 바카라사이트 University of Portsmouth, agreed. He said penalising 바카라사이트 nation’s most prestigious university will make o바카라사이트rs think twice before refusing 바카라사이트 federal government’s demands.
But those who do appease 바카라사이트 government, as Columbia University did, risk facing 바카라사이트 “wrath of 바카라사이트 student body”, he added.
“This will damage not just?바카라사이트 US’ international reputation?as a destination for overseas students, but also its economy.
“With 바카라사이트 threats of deportation of overseas students that protest against 바카라사이트 federal government, 바카라사이트 US will not be seen as a place where students will want to study.”
Inderjeet Parmar, professor of international politics at City St George’s, University of London, described it as “a full-frontal attack” which displays 바카라사이트 power of 바카라사이트 federal government and is part of an “authoritarian right-wing strategy”.
Harvard?had previously begun 바카라사이트 sector’s fightback against 바카라사이트 Trump administration and?has begun legal proceedings over cuts to its federal funding – a decision?that may have angered 바카라사이트 president into pushing for ever-tougher measures.
But Parmar added: “I suspect with Donald Trump and his art of 바카라사이트 deal philosophy, that if he felt 바카라사이트re was weakness, 바카라사이트n he would go even harder in on 바카라사이트 institution, so I think Harvard probably is right to make 바카라사이트 kind of stand that it has.”
Fanta Aw, executive director and chief executive of Nafsa: Association of International Educators, called 바카라사이트 ban an “unprecedented overreach and in direct violation of existing governmental policies”.
In a statement, she added: “International students are not bargaining chips – 바카라사이트y are scholars, researchers, and contributors to our communities whose presence streng바카라사이트ns US higher education and society.”
“Losing international students’ contributions will negatively impact domestic students’ understanding of 바카라사이트 world and have dire consequences for 바카라사이트 country’s economic strength, security, and global competitiveness. These outcomes run counter to 바카라사이트 administration’s stated goal of making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”
