Trump stops student visa: Harvard under pressure because of anti -Semitism!

München, Deutschland - The Trump administration has ordered an immediate stop of the procedures for student visa. This became known in a report by Politico, which is based on an internal communication by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio on US messages and consular departments. The message also mentioned that the government is considering checking foreign students who are applying for a study in the United States on social media for possible risks. The exact purpose of this review remains unclear, but it refers to ordinances from the US President who focus on security and fight against anti-Semitism.

Trump's criticism of universities, especially Harvard, is directed against their inadequate measures against anti-Semitism, which are strengthened on campus by pro-Palestinian protests. For this reason, Harvard received grants in billions of bills and is no longer allowed to record new international students. Foreign students already registered are forced to switch to other universities to secure their residence status in the USA. Over 6,800 international students are currently inscribed in Harvard, including 550 from Germany.

review of data and militant measures

So that the university can continue to accept international students, Harvard needs certification for the "Student and Exchange Visitor Information System" (SEVIS), which is managed by the Ministry of Homeland. The loss of access to Sevis could bring international students into a dangerous situation because they could be deported to another university without adapting their status or enrollment. Harvard is also subject to financial pressure because international students make up a significant part of their budget because they pay higher tuition fees.

The Minister of Homeland Protection NOEM has asked Harvard detailed information about international students, including her names, dates of birth and nationalities as well as the courses you have attended. Harvard is accused of having tolerated violent protests on campus, with the allegations against the university getting louder. As a result, eight federal authorities have announced that it will delete funding of around $ 450 million

criticism and political implications

The Trump government is accused by critics of targeting politics and universities by using protests as an excuse to cause institutional changes. Compared to the United States, where universities are punished that tolerate anti -Semitism, Germany has so far been passive over increasing anti -Semitism at universities. In particular in view of the increased anti -Semitic incidents in Germany since October 2023, the demand for government measures has become loud.

universities have become a focal point of anti -Semitic incidents. Numerous examples have been documented in recent months, including a pro-Palestinian protest camp in Munich, which propagated anti-Semitic slogans, as well as violent protests at other universities. Experts are now calling for rethinking and taking responsibility by university lines. Universities that actively act against anti -Semitism should lose public funds and students who spread hatred are de -enemy.
