President Donald Trump again trained on Monday Ire at Harvard UniversityAccusing the school of “judging purchases” during its legal battle with the administration and threatening to reduce $ 3 billion in federal subsidies on the university treatment of anti-Israeli demonstrations.
“I plan to withdraw three billion dollars in subsidies far from a very anti -Semitic Harvard and to give it to business schools throughout our country,” wrote Trump on social networks. “What an excellent investment it would be for the United States, and so seriously necessary !!!”
Trump’s latest threats occur when Harvard begins his week from early spring to the shade of a one -month quarrel between the Ivy League school and the Trump administration on anti -Semitism, federal funding and the first amendment.
In its last decision, the Trump administration prohibited the capacity of Harvard University to register international students – a decision Follow up By a federal judge a few hours after the oldest university in the country brought an action. The president also threatened to revoke Harvard tax exemption status.
From now on, the university’s future capacity to enroll international students – who represent around 27% of the student organization – will depend on the way in which the case takes place in court, the dispute adding legal battles for the administration to the file. A hearing in the case is expected to take place on Tuesday.
Harvard also continued Trump last month for the administration Gel of 2.2 billion dollars In federal funding after university would not accept the political changes required by the White House.
This case, as well as the trial on international students, were assigned to the judge of the American district court Allison Dale Burroughs.
This The first high level case of burrowri does not concern Harvard University. As a federal judge in 2019, she confirmed the Ivy League admission process in a positive action case – a decision that the United States Supreme Court then canceled.
She judged that even if the Harvard admission process was “not perfect”, it would not “dismantle a very fine admission program which succeeds in the constitutional gathering, only because it could do better”.
As a judge of the federal district, she also put railings on the Trump administration before in cases linked to her travel ban in 2017 targeting Muslim predominance countries, international students during the coronavirus pandemic and the recent reductions in the energy department to federal research funding.
In his Monday article Trump also targeted The bipartite practice of “judging shopping”, Where the applicants file affairs outside their obvious jurisdiction in order to be awarded a judge who could have a more favorable examination of the dispute over a random assignment. The members of the two parties used the practice to pursue their political objectives.
“The best thing that Harvard has for this is that they have made their purchases and found the best absolute judge (for them!) – But are not afraid, the government will finally win!” Trump wrote on Monday.
CNN contacted Harvard to comment.
But Harvard, a school based in Massachusetts, is expected to bring prosecution before the Boston Federal Court. However, the district has no names Trump, and the federal court of appeal which oversees New England is perceived as a difficult place for the harder and more sensitive affairs of the president.
This week, Trump also sent shock waves on the campus when he demanded the “names and countries” of the thousands of international students from Harvard University.
“We are still waiting for Harvard’s foreign students lists so that we can determine, after a ridiculous expenditure of billions of dollars, how many radicalized madmen, all disturbances, should not be released in our country. Harvard is very slow in the presentation of these documents, and probably for a good reason! ” Trump said on social networks.
Harvard already shares a list, in October 2024, from the countries where its thousands of foreign students come from, with the most students from China, followed by Canada, India, South Korea and the United Kingdom.
Harvard and the Trump administration are expected to meet in court on Thursday and plead their affairs in Burroughs, who will decide to extend the opportunity to block government actions by issuing a preliminary injunction.
At the same time as the planned audience, nearly 9,000 diploma candidates should celebrate beginning On the Harvard campus, just 6 miles from the federal courthouse.
