Trump Calls for 15% Cap on Foreign Students at Harvard

President Trump's call to limit foreign student enrollment at Harvard University has sparked widespread debate and concern among students and educators. Trump's statement, made during a White House address, suggested a 15% cap on international students, down from the current 31%. He argued that this would create more opportunities for American students. However, critics have raised concerns about the potential negative impact on international students and the fairness of such a policy. One reporter stated, "Mr. President, on Harvard, there were some Jewish students protesting on campus yesterday. They said they don't want you making these huge cuts, cutting off student visas to Harvard in their name..." Trump's request for Harvard to provide student lists to verify their origins and ensure they aren't troublemakers has also drawn criticism. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration and higher education in the United States. The debate underscores the complex issues surrounding access to higher education and the role of international students in American universities.
