  7. In a bold move, President Donald Trump aims to block foreign students from attending Harvard, where they make up 25% of enrollment. Citing national security, the executive order follows a court ruling against the Department of Homeland Security's restrictions, highlighting tensions over alleged non-compliance with record requests. This action raises significant questions about the future of international education at American universities.

  9. Ellen explores alarming moves by the Trump administration to undermine higher education. His Memorial Day comments led Secretary of State Marco Rubio to roll out a directive threatening colleges unsupportive of MAGA ideals, including tougher visa processing for foreign students. This escalation impacts institutions financially reliant on these students and echoes a broader attack on liberal educational ideologies.

  10. "Blocking foreign students is an act of self-destruction — and self-betrayal. …

    It’s hard to overstate the self-destructiveness of this move, and the war on higher education in general. This is madness even in purely economic terms.

    We don’t often think of education as a major U.S. export, but it is. International students typically pay full tuition and require little or no financial aid."

  12. "The Trump administration has ordered US embassies globally to immediately pause scheduling visa interviews for international students as it prepares to introduce sweeping social media monitoring for these applicants.

    The directive, first reported by Politico and since confirmed by the Guardian, could severely hold up visa processing and hit universities financially."

  14. Temporary restraining order against #TrumpAdministration's unlawful order against #Harvard's enrollment of #ForeignStudents.

    That's the good news.

    The bad news: this unlawful order is a symptom of #fascism's innate hatred of education, further evidence that fascism is what we are living under in the USA; also, the next hearing is May 29, so the restraining order is *very* temporary.

    Fucking #RESIST.

  19. Bernard Keane does not mince his words in his latest 'opinion' piece (Source: Crickey News). And while we can all understand his ire against out trumpian potato head, his scathing assessment of the Greens is sure to ruffle some feathers.

    "Dutton isn’t merely calling for substantial migration cuts, of course — he made the absurd claim that foreign students were the modern equivalent of boat arrivals. Clearly, like Trump, he wants to be able to campaign against Labor on immigration unhindered by any government attempts to reduce migration. In that, he’s aided by the Greens, who are clothing their opposition to the foreign student cap in the garb of anti-racism but know perfectly well that their electoral success is also tied to keeping migration high — which will in turn put pressure on rents and house prices, which the Greens exploit to appeal to younger voters. The Greens have no more interest than Dutton in actually solving issues like housing affordability.

    Dutton’s perfect mimicry of Trump, and his rank hypocrisy, drew no comment from the very ordinary federal press gallery that only last week was wondering how Dutton would seek to replicate Trump’s win."

    I may be noted that the 'Immigration Card' has been played many times in the Australian political game, well before Trump's political career took shape, indeed we might point to the White Australia policy as it official launch here.

  20. @phil_stevens In contrast to Finland's equal access education model, Australian universities for exaple have become fee-based profit machines, where foreign students outnumber local ones. Many enrol not just for education but as a pathway to secure visas. This trend raises concerns about whether the focus on profit is undermining accessibility and quality for local Australians.

  22. 'The #Tories’ war on #ForeignStudents isn’t for the good of the country – it’s about saving their own skins -

    Tories and their pollsters see as clear as day that the growth in #HighlyEducated#Citizens, above the #OECD average, is a #social and #political revolution not in their favour: the more educated people are, the less likely they are to vote for what John Stuart Mill called “#TheStupidestParty”.'

  24. Upon taking power in 2018, Ford ordered every post-secondary institution to cut tuition by 10 per cent — without making up the shortfall. Those fees have been frozen ever since, while government funding stagnated year after year — inflation be damned.
