Trump admin using new tactics to expel international students: US colleges

Business Standard

A crackdown on foreign students is alarming colleges, who say the Trump administration is using new tactics and vague justifications to push some students out of the country. College officials worry the new approach will keep foreigners from wanting to study in the US. Students stripped of their entry visas are receiving orders from the Department of Homeland Security to leave the country immediately a break from past practice that often permitted them to stay and complete their studies. Some students have been targeted over pro-Palestinian activism or criminal infractions or even traffic violations. Others have been left wondering how they ran afoul of the government. At Minnesota State University in Mankato, President Edward Inch told the campus Wednesday that visas had been revoked for five international students for unclear reasons. He said school officials learned about the revocations when they ran a status check in a database of international students after the detention

Trump admin to review Harvard funding after Columbia yields to govt demand

Business Standard

Harvard University has become the latest target in the Trump administration's approach to fight campus anti-semitism, with the announcement of a new comprehensive review that could jeopardize billions of dollars for the Ivy League college. A federal anti-semitism task force is reviewing more than $255 million in contracts between Harvard and the federal government to make sure the school is following civil rights laws, the administration announced Monday. The government also will examine USD 8.7 billion in grant commitments to Harvard and its affiliates. The same task force cut $400 million from Columbia University and threatened to slash billions more if it refused a list of demands from President Donald Trump's administration. Columbia agreed to many of the changes this month, drawing praise from some Jewish groups and condemnation from free speech groups, who see it as a stunning intrusion by the federal government. Dozens of other universities have been put on notice by the Trum
