And with the destruction of Trump's disastrous tariffs on Chinese imports....expect the crackdown on Chinese students studying in the US to get much worse.

Rep. Dan Goldman:


“You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding
while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

Worth parking here because it was the attempted crushing of universities that led to this travesty of justice.

And another blow to TrumpCo.'s attempt to empty Harvard of international students.

Unfortunately, it still will grind on throught the appeals process until TrumpCo. finally gives up.

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Friday further blocked the Trump administration's attempt to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students while giving those students additional legal protections.

U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs issued the preliminary injunction after having granted a temporary restraining order against the federal government this month.

Judge again blocks Trump administration from halting Harvard's enrolling international students

A federal judge directed the Trump administration to restore “every visa holder and applicant to the position that individual would have been" before the ban was enacted.

Columbia agreeing to pay a 200 million dollar fine is anathema.

All they have done is empower a dictator...they likely haven't even bought time.

So how does the 500 million end up in Trump's bank account? Just tell us that?

Harvard nearing settlement with Trump to pay $500 million and regain federal funding

As pretty uch expected, a judge has ruled that TrumpCo. illegally cancelled Harvard grants.

A+M in the crosshairs as Dean is removed over not requiring profs to indicate in their course catalogues that content may include issues on gender 'ideology'.

Some of the irony in the University's statements burns.

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

From FB this morning.

""Texas A&M University swiftly fired a lecturer and removed two administrators after a student filmed herself arguing with the instructor that a children’s literature course broke the law because the coursework recognized more than two genders."

Broke. The. Law. By teaching a literature course. At a university."




You know exactly what kind of vicious, anti-trans, sanctimonious Karen the student is going to turn out to be. She's not there to learn anything.

She's not there to learn anything.

She's at the right university to attain that goal.

In 2016, my campus experienced an epidemic of TPUSA students coming to classes and extracurricular events with the sole intention of doxxing "radical" professors. Several of my friends and colleagues were subjected to death threats, rape threats, and other forms of harassment. At least one of them retired early as a result.

Again, unsurprisingly, a judge has restored funding cancelled by TrumpCo.

Eventually though, TrumpCo. is going to try this one on in the Shadow Docket at the Roberts' SC.

And he will win.

TrumpCo. is trying another extortion tactic to take over univeristies. Newsom isn't having it.

Dartmouth's respomse.

Shame.

Really....shame.

If I were a student I would change universities or a parent paying tuition for my kid to go here, they would be going somewhere else.
