차라리 하버드 대학 이름을 트럼프 대학으로 바꾸자. 트럼프 자기 모순
한 언론의 비판.
1. 하버드 대학 이름을 트럼프 대학으로 바꾸자. 트럼프 자기 모순
미국 상품을 외국에 많이 팔자는 '미국 제일주의' '우선주의'이다.
하버드 대학은 '상품'은 아니지만, 미국이 제일 성공한 '교육'제도이고, 해외에서도 인기가 높은데,
트럼프는 자기 모순이다. 하버드 대학을 트럼프 대학으로 이름을 바꾸는 것을 찬성하는가?
2. 언론 보도 내용 중,
하버드 대학에 다니는 외국인 학생들과 미국 학생들은 동일한 '학비'를 내지만, 외국인 학생들은 미국 국적 학생들에 비해 '장학금'이나 '재정 지원' 기회가 훨씬 더 적다. 결론적으로 외국인 학생들의 학비는 미국 학생들을 보조하는 돈으로 사용된다.
하버드 대학 기부금 520억 달러 (70조원) 규모.
그러나 외국인 학생들에 대한 공격과 트럼프의 '연구 기금 지급' 중단은 , 하버드 대학의 재정에 타격에 가할 것이다.
3. 해외 학생들이 하버드 대학에 입학하려고 노력도 하지만,
반대로 하버드 대학은 외국의 좋은 학생들을 유치해, 다원적 민주주의를 구현하는데 실익을 보고 있다.
트럼프는 이러한 하버드의 정신적 정치적 자산들을 없애려고 하고 있다.
Trump blasts Harvard, wants ‘names and countries’ of international students by Elizabeth Crisp - 05/25/25 2:58 PM ET Unmute Current Time 0:07 / Duration 1:13 Captions Fullscreen Pause Share President Trump on Sunday took new shots at Harvard University, saying he wants to know exactly who the foreign students it enrolls are after the Department of Homeland Security last week sought to block the prestigious school’s agility to enroll foreign students.
'
“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to,” Trump wrote.
“Nobody told us that! We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming.
We want those names and countries.
Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!” Harvard enrolled about 6,800 international students during the 2024-2025 academic year — about 27 percent of the entire student population, according to the university’s records available online.
Those students and their families pay tuition to Harvard. International students studying in the United States are much more likely to be paying full tuition and arguably subsidize costs for U.S. students.
Some observers at the same time have noted that Trump’s efforts to cut off foreign students from Harvard, if they are successful, could conceivably allow more U.S. students to attend the school.
Trump has been waging an ongoing war against the nation’s oldest and richest university, fueled by his allegations of antisemitism and discrimination on campus.
Harvard’s endowment is more than $52 billion, but the attacks on foreign students and Trump’s efforts to cut off federal research grants could hurt the school.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the move to block foreign students from going to Harvard on Friday after Harvard filed a legal challenge. The university also is suing the Trump administration over billions in federal dollars that were frozen after Harvard refused to end its diversity initiatives. Trump’s actions have been widely seen as a threat to higher education more broadly, as schools seek to take steps to escape the president’s ire over a host of issues, including pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus.

Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it would ban the institution from enrolling international students.
The clash marked a dramatic escalation in the battle between America’s oldest and wealthiest university and the president, Donald Trump. In April Harvard rejected a series of demands from the White House.
The lawsuit decries a “blatant violation” of the US constitution and warns that it will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders”.

Hours later, a federal judge in Boston put a temporary block on the government’s action, while the litigation continues.
Key takeaways from Harvard’s 72-page lawsuit:
1. The Trump administration’s move ‘violates’ constitutional rights
The college claims that the administration’s decision is a “blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act” of the US constitution.
Harvard alleges that the revocation of Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification from the government violates the first amendment by infringing on Harvard’s “constitutionally protected academic freedom” and that colleges and universities have a constitutionally protected right to manage an academic community and evaluate “teaching and scholarship free from governmental interference”.
The government violated its right to due process by failing to give proper notice, failing to “disclose the evidence” it relied on, and by denying the university a “meaningful opportunity” to respond to the allegations and evidence before revoking the certification, among other things, it claimed.
All “to immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and its community”.
2. The government is ‘retaliating’ against the school
Harvard contends that the administration’s decision is the “latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students”.
The lawsuit notes that on 14 April, when Harvard declined to comply with a series of federal demands, the “the government’s retribution was swift”.
Within hours, the government froze more than $2.2bn in federal funding that is “critical to the support of ongoing cutting-edge research”, the filing said.
Then the ban on international students
was “not for any valid reason, but because they seek to punish the University for its courage in refusing to surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights under the First Amendment”.
Harvard accuses the Trump administration of waging a “campaign of retribution … without process or cause”, with international students as pawns.
3. Potential impact
Harvard says revoking visa authorization would force the university to rescind admissions for thousands of people, and throw “countless academic programs, research laboratories, clinics, and courses” into disarray, just days before the 2025 graduation.

It would “seriously and immediately disrupt the University’s ongoing, day-to-day operations”.
International students make up more than a quarter of Harvard’s student body and “contribute significantly to the university and its mission”.
“Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,” the complaint said.
If enforced, Harvard says that the policy would prevent “thousands” of international students who are scheduled to come to campus for the summer and fall terms from being able to enter the US.And “several thousand currently present would be “subject to immediate removal from the US just days before many are to graduate with degrees”.
4. Competing for students
The ban would immediately blunt Harvard’s competitiveness in attracting the world’s top students, the suit said.
“In our interconnected global economy, a university that cannot welcome students from all corners of the world is at a competitive disadvantage”, with foreign students “a key factor” in the college maintaining its standing in academia.
And if Harvard ever regained certification for international students “future applicants may shy away from applying out of fear of further reprisals from the government,” it said.
5. Effect on other students
Harvard said a ban would impair “the educational experience of all Harvard students by diminishing the global character and overall strength of the institution”.
“This is particularly true for specific programs that offer richer experiences when they feature dialogue between students from different backgrounds” it states.
The loss of international students, Harvard states, would diminish debate across the entire Harvard community and “further irreparably damages Harvard and its reputation” and, among other effects, halt important research.

6. What did Kristi Noem want to know?
The lawsuit said that on 16 April, the US Secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, sent a letter to Harvard’s International Office (HIO) criticizing the university for “fail[ing] to condemn antisemitism” and demanded records for “each student visa holder” across Harvard’s 13 different schools of learning within 10 business days.
The letter warned that failure to comply by 30 April, would be “treated as a voluntary withdrawal” from the F-1 visa program and not “subject to appeal”.
Harvard said that “despite the unprecedented nature of this demand” it began to comply, producing information by the deadline and more when asked for more.
Nevertheless, on 22 May, the Department of Homeland Security deemed Harvard’s responses “insufficient” and with no further information announced that it was revoking Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification “effective immediately”, the lawsuit said.
7. Restraining order
Harvard asked a judge to grant a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the revocation going into force while thelegal challenge plays out.
Just hours later, a federal judge granted that request.
