US Administration bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students | Faye D'Souza

I am Indian-American academic, and this is unprecedented. I am sure this is illegal. But I also think Indian ministers like PM Modi, should have a word about this. International students contribute to up to $41 billion annually so this will not be good.

You’re informing us international students so well. The smile you had on you when you were talking about help just tells how sweet you are. Thanks Faye!

This decision is stupid, but I also didn't understand the stupid students who went for studies and indulged into Free-Palestine propaganda (not stop war but free Palestine) they forgot about all the Indian history of what Mughals did in India killing millions of Hindu men, women and children and destroying our culture and temples. Because of these rogue students the genuine ones who wanted to study will suffer.

Why are Indian students at Harvard when the government boasts of the best post graduate institutions anywhere in the world. Maybe you should talk to people like Modi, Shashi Tharoor, Rahul Gandhi and many others.

Orange man keeps on getting insane by day.

1st step of any fascist regime. Control education and narrative. Its textbook

The good news is that a Federal judge has now blocked Trump's effort to enroll international students TEMPORARILY as of 5/23/25. Thank God , I have all my Harvard degrees already on hand......JUST KIDDING !!

None of them were gonna come back and serve the country anyway.

When will India have institutions comparable to Harvard?

Indians were cheerful when they deported a Palestinian student now they cry because they are being treated the same. Irony

You have to know who Trump is!
Trump has been upset that lots of non-whites are getting the privilege of this education.
Like immigration he wants whites only. That is why he deported brown and black, but took in white South African immigrants.
The fees are very high no doubt but to be honest there are very few pay the full fees. Most are on a scholarship of some kind. A lot international students pay almost nothing. A lot of the Indian students pay nothing at all. This was not the case in the past. In the past a lot of colleges did not allow scholarships for international students. But in the last decade or more international students are getting scholarships and pay no fees. The US government is then left picking up the costs. Since these universities do get millions in private donations, these colleges are able to get by without having to collect fees from international students. Lots of programs that used to be only for American students is now open to international students which surprised me. Like Veterinary or Dentistry was only for American students but now allows international students and provides scholarships as well.
I know that most professionals that teach at these universities are the hard-core liberals. They have been dissatisfied with how the American government's policies to Outsiders has been for a long time. They saw it as unjust and discriminatory. They are taking a stand and treating international students on eqal grounds as Americans. This has angered conservatives and now the Trump administration who see these as American institutions that are meant for Americans first.

Of course the Indian government has not said anything - as expected.

India should build its own Harvard , when Modi is there what’s the fear. We are already the Wishwa Guru of the world.

Indian government will ban foreign students enrolling into IIT and IIMs, wait, is any American even trying to enroll into these institutions? Indian so called students never return once they complete their studies there, student visa is used as an easy entry to settle down in the US

vishwaguru😂😂😂😂

I am worried that this will decrease their students by half. And American students may not be able to fill these gap. Or most probably they will raise their education standards at public school level

He is a "Crazy Old Man". In India, we say, "Budhao sathiya gaya hai".

Most international students in the USA & Canada are either Chinese or Indian. As per most universities almost 50% are Chinese & 40% are Indians. The rest of the world is just 10%. So the students currently studying are going to loose heavily because of a madman.

Let these students come back.

Trump should learn from Bakhtiyar Khilji 😂

700odd out of 23000. why it is news. these analysts going crazy every time

What a crazy madman. Destroying America's identity & Pride. This is how he is planning to make it great again? By erasing the great legacy itself?

Clown knows how to entertain his audience

Come on we all know that this can’t get pass the legal system. This is nuts !

These so called students basically go there on f1 visas and then work there illegally besides this I have no idea why we are brainwashed into this Harvard bullshit. In india we have good universities that are cheaper and better than these hyped up universities. Shame on you

And the US lectures the entire world about democracy. And look at what’s happening there!

What is this fascination with Harvard and Indian students? Isn't there other news in this country? What'll happen to Indian students - The same that'll happen to other international students...lessons from Trump actions if you still haven't got them - wait and watch.
The American late night show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel finally seem to be getting it. He will act dramatically, courts will push back etc, then some compromise/midway state will be reached.

Don’t fret guys, Modi Ji and Trump are best friends. Never forget we’re Vishwaguru. 💪

This is honestly so tragic. Presidents shouldn’t have such power over universities.

They are getting their American dreams fulfilled by drump.

Trump's policy will no doubt put America into a state of hibernation. The isolationist policy will only bring down quality in education because there will be less impetus on competition.

Very well explained Ma'am. Keep it up.

It is amusing to see Indians commenting on the US government's decision. It's their country, and it is their rule. The US is not obligated to admit students from India (or any country). Indians are talking as if it is their right to study in the US - the right to a US education.

Harvard called upon this. This cames following Harvard failing to stop antiseptic activities in their campus.

Its fine Faye!

They can all return to the land of the Vishwaguru!!

They can witness the Rampaging of the Universities in India.

Those returning will feel much at home!!

MAGA,, how? 😢

Pls Trump DO NOT entertain corrupt, uneducated indians from N Indian states UP Haryana MP Bihar Rajasthan n Gujoorat ! your fav ahmedooo.... (my) ..Baad 😂
These ILLEGALS ...
have n will come with frivolous demands Temble, human rights etc these are the very indians who sought to circumvent the US legal system n instead chose the ailing cow or dunki route to a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY !!! WHAT a DISGRACE to this community 😢

Hi Faye, do the newspapers you quote from have an ability to charge you for the commercial activity you are able to undertake due to their efforts or do you just have an personal license/subscription to these newspapers?

Criminal

How conveniently everyone ignoring Harvard’s audacity to not oblige by government’s request to share the details of all students. A university is never bigger than a country’s govt

what Trump is doing to Harvard Modi has done to JNU. Many upper caste kids form India who went to Harvard supporting Modi now have met Modi redux in Harvard. Tells you cannot outrun evil.

Is not Donald becoming too eccentric?

I don't feel sorry for them. Our country has real problems to deal within the country.

I wish Trump would send all the kids of BJP ministers studying in US back to India!!!

Good Day Madam, Hope All Is Well At Your Side !!! Honestly speaking, what Trump is doing right for Indians especially who are applying H1B/Student visa. Indians go to US on H1B/Student visas and don't want to come back after their project/study finishes. Indians stay there even without job. They work in shops like McDonald etc. as waiter/coolie. These same people don't to work in India as waiter in McDonald etc. Because of this attitude, now in America, there are around 7-8 million Indians living illegally. What a shame for India as a country??? There are good universities in India. what about them? Then why Indians go to US for study by taking 1 crore loan, which is big headache to re-pay. In India, you can get good degree in 10lac rupees. Think about it. I agree, India has got issues like population & pollution. Please provide your honest opinion on this illegal issue of Indians. Waiting for reply, Thanks & Regards, Ganapati 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

India can have own university equivalent . India is second largest English speaking country. Our top industrialist can help to achieve it.

Its painful to see our Indian students to suffer for no reason, but Modi is too scared and weak to raised questions or criticize Trump😂😂😂

❤️❤️

Wow!!!!! Indian students contribute US $9 billion per annum to the US economy???? What a shame the Indian economy is losing out. But one thinks it’s easier to get into US colleges than Indian ones where cut offs are 100% to get admissions.

Roughly 500 - 800 students go to Harvard every year from India and most of them don’t come back to live in India — Faye likes the top 1 percent because that is the class she think is fit — 😂 talk about her double standards and then she talks about women being oppressed in India where she do not even represent 99 percent of the people — Bollywood is her favourite — typical boot licking feminist she is
