President Donald Trump said on Monday that he could consider diversion of billions of grant dollars from the University of Harvard and provide these funds throughout the United States.
Trump, who performed his clash with the elite institution, said in a post on the social media: “I think that I will take three billion dollars of grant money from the very anti -Semitic harvard and give them business schools throughout our country.”
“What a great investment that would be for the US and so badly needed !!!”
Trump’s administration has already moved to freeze the financing of grants and blocking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students in an intense battle for what the President threw as the failure of Ivy League University and others to intervene against anti -Semitism.
Trump’s administration uses this justification for pressure from schools such as Harvard to introduce the broad political changes that university officials say that the freedom of expression and their academic missions are violated. Harvard was in Trump’s campaign in front and center, with the administration already suspended more than $ 2.6 billion in federal research grants.
Trump plans to limit the enrollment of a foreign student to Harvard
Trump’s government tried to ban Harvard to accept foreign students; However, the university ensured a temporary court order that prevented the ban. Meanwhile, administrative officials called for increased control of foreign students and demanded detailed information, including the names of those who were enrolled in Harvard. Harvard, however, still did not transfer lists of foreign students.
Trump replied and said that the university “very slow in the presentation of these documents”. Information is necessary, Trump said in the second post on Monday, on holiday Memorial Day to determine “how many radicalized madmen, all problems, should not be released back to our country.”
Trump claimed that nearly 31% of Harvard students were alien and questioned why the US should contribute effectively to their education when their home country is not. The Minister of Internal Security Kristi Noem also stated that the school refuses to turn the documentation on students at the request of the government.
