Donald Trump Vs Harvard University:- Trump is striking at the very idea of Harvard, its international students



US President Donald Trump is out with a sledgehammer and striking at the very core of Harvard University, an institution older than the USA. Harvard has been synonymous with American education, politics and society. The reason why Harvard is world-class is that it attracts the world's best brains. That's what Trump is seeking to pull the plug on. While Harvard University, with a massive endowment of USD 53 billion, might be able to survive a funding freeze and a revocation of its tax-free status, any move to cut its international student intake could sound the death knell. Fully aware of that, Trump is threatening to strike at Harvard's core with his sledgehammer. There are 321 Indians among the 10,158 international students enrolled at Harvard University this year. The cohorts are from 150 countries this year, and bring a wealth of unmatched experience to the campus.
