No one seems to be mentioning that President Pedophile, who’s been photographed with young girls at Epstein’s parties, who was convicted of rape, & has admitted on videotape of sexual assault, was also the owner of the Miss Teen Universe Pageant and regularly invaded the teenager’s dressing rooms.

And yes, if the Trump administration extends this to my employer, Columbia University, it's be a disaster. About 40% of our students come from outside the U.S.

This is completely insane. Kristi Noem is telling Harvard's thousands of foreign students that they "must transfer or lose their legal status" -- and that newly admitted students can't enroll.

www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05...
Harvard University Loses Student and Exchange Visitor Program Certification for Pro-Terrorist Conduct Harvard is being held accountable for collaboration with the CCP, fostering violence, antisemitism, and pro-terrorist conduct from students on its campus. WASHINGTON – Today, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered DHS to terminate the Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification. This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status. Harvard’s leadership has created an unsafe campus environment by permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once-venerable learning environment. Many of these agitators are foreign students. Harvard’s leadership further facilitated, and engaged in coordinated activity with the CCP, including hosting and training members of a CCP paramilitary group complicit in the Uyghur genocide. “This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” said Secretary Noem. “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.”
