Harvard Under Fire! Is Trump Trying to Cancel International Students?!

Wait What's Going On?!

Okay so like I'm sitting here sipping my Skinny Vanilla Latte and I see this headline about Harvard. Apparently the Trump administration is coming for them threatening to pull their ability to have international students. Can you even imagine?! It's all because of some drama about antisemitism accusations. Honestly sometimes I feel like saying 'This is why I can't have nice things!' to the whole world. It's getting krazy!

Title 8? More Like Title Trouble!

So this Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sent a letter basically saying Harvard's 'privilege' to have foreign students is 'contingent' on following the rules. Contingent? Is that even a real word? Anyway she claims Harvard's created a 'hostile learning environment' for Jewish students because they haven't condemned antisemitism enough. It's like come on can't we all just get along? *inserts peace sign emoji*.

No More Grants?! Seriously?!

And get this – they canceled two grants to Harvard totaling $2.7 million! They're calling the school 'unfit to be entrusted with taxpayer dollars.' Like wow that's a lot of lip kits! It’s giving me ‘Rise and Shine’ vibes but like in a bad way. Wake up and smell the drama!

Money Money Money... It's a Rich Man's World (Or a Rich University's)

Apparently Harvard 'relies heavily on foreign student funding' to keep their 'substantial endowment.' More than 27% of their students are international! That's a lot of people potentially being affected by this whole situation. Remember 'realizing stuff' is important guys. Let's realize this is a big deal!

Harvard's Not Backing Down!

Columbia University kinda caved to the pressure but Harvard's standing their ground. They’re refusing to scrap their DEI programs and change their hiring policies. Their president Alan Garber accused the Trump administration of trying to control the 'intellectual conditions' at Harvard. Talk about a power move! It's like 'Come at me bro!' but in a super intellectual Ivy League way.

Hamas Protests and... Taxpayer Dollars?!

The Trump administration is pointing to the protests criticizing Israel after the Hamas attacks. They're saying Harvard is 'bending the knee to antisemitism' and that it's a 'cesspool of extremist riots.' They're even questioning Harvard's status as a top school. Honestly it's all a bit much. I'm just trying to live my life and sell some makeup okay?! Maybe everyone needs to chill and buy a lip kit. It solves *almost* everything.
