(WND)—President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted Harvard’s secrecy when it comes to the university’s large number of students from foreign countries.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to. Nobody told us that!
“We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries.
The president concluded: “Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!”
As WorldNetDaily reported, Harvard has sued the federal government to keep the privilege of enrolling foreign students, a lucrative source of revenue for the college as well, additionally, a path to international influence.
The Trump administration had revoked the school’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a dispute over Harvard’s decision to refuse to cooperate with the government on issues including student protests, anti-Semitism and even cooperation with China, explodes.
The administration has explained Harvard has refused to comply with a list of demands sent to the school in April regarding student protests, many being anti-Israel and pro-Hamas, the anti-Semitism present on campus and allegations that the school has allowed infiltration by the Chinese Communist Party.
Republicans on the House Select Committee on China and the House Committee on Education and Workforce have begun investigating what links there may be between the school and the CCP.
Harvard, in the latest lawsuit it has brought against the Trump administration, is claiming the ending of its certification is a “blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act.”
A federal judge in Harvard’s back yard immediately came to the school’s aid, temporarily blocking the administration decision to cancel the program for foreign students.
The order came from Allison Burroughs, a judge in Boston.
The administration move left the campus in disarray only days before graduation this year, the school claimed, as foreign students now are deciding whether to transfer or risk staying, and possibly losing legal status to remain in the U.S.
A report from the Washington Examiner said Alan Garber, the school chief, claimed the withdrawal of the privilege of enrolling foreign students, “imperils the futures of thousands of students and scholars across Harvard and serves as a warning to countless others at colleges and universities throughout the country who have come to America to pursue their education and fulfill their dreams.”
The end of that certification, in fact, would mean many students at Harvard would have to transfer to another school. Estimates are that about one fourth of the student population there is foreign.
Harvard’s filing claimed, “It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students.”
The school also has lost an estimated $2.7 billion in government grants because of its agenda, following decisions byi federal officials with end those payments.
The foreign students are a lucrative source of cash for the school, which already has a $53 billion endowment.
The report said, “Most international students at Harvard pay full tuition, which is $59,320 for the 2024-25 academic year. Room and Board on campus and other mandatory fees amount to an additional $27,606 per student. The total for an international student to attend Harvard is $86,926 per year.”
WorldNetDaily reported when the decision to withdraw Harvard’s permission to enroll foreigners was announced.
The Department of Homeland Security said Harvard has created “an unsafe campus environment” by allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to assault Jewish students on campus.
Homeland Security reports have confirmed how Jewish students report discrimination and bias on campus.
A Breitbart report elaborated on the new moves, explaining DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, “This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.
“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.

Someone please explain to me why Jewish people vote 70% for Democrats?
As the late Rabbi Aaron Zelman put it- “Jews with a gas chamber mentality”. The good Rabbi founded Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (jpfo.org).
Kick all the foreign sudents out of the country if they come from countries who hate us or are our enemies. Kick many of the professors out also. They are nothing but communist scum.
