U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of Harvard University, defending his administration's attempt to block the institution from enrolling international students. Trump highlighted that nearly 31% of Harvard's students are from foreign countries, accusing the university of withholding information about these students despite repeated requests. He questioned why these countries, some allegedly unfriendly to the U.S., contribute nothing toward their students' education. Although a judge has temporarily suspended the administration's action, Trump insists on obtaining the names and countries of origin of these students, arguing it's reasonable given the federal funding Harvard receives. He criticized Harvard for not being transparent and suggested the university should utilize its $52 million endowment instead of relying on federal grants. (PC: Business Standard)
