Belgian princess left in doubt about her Harvard future following Trump’s foreign student ban

Associated Press:

Belgium’s Royal Palace said Friday that Princess Elisabeth, who is first in line to the throne, is waiting to find out whether she can return to Harvard for her second year after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ban on foreign students at the university.

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students in its escalating battle with the Ivy League school, saying thousands of students must transfer to other schools or leave the country.

“We are looking into the situation, to see what kind of impact this decision might have on the princess, or not. It’s too early to say right now,” said the palace’s communications head, Xavier Baert.

Steve Sinofsky:

Harvard case is so fascinating. The filings and quotes keep talking about how crazy it is for the Govt to dictate how Harvard should operate or who it should serve/employ, yet this is exactly how EEOC has been implemented for decades in private sector and advocated by..Harvard.

Adrian Vermeule:

If the universities want to remain open to international students, they should first do a better job of being open to the Other America, which they have mocked and despised for decades.

Stephen Dinan:

The manager of Harvard Medical School’s morgue has pleaded guilty to selling human remains.

Cedric Lodge, 57, admitted he took parts of donated cadavers after they had been used for research and sold them rather than have them disposed of in accordance with the donors’ agreements, the Justice Department said Thursday.

That included organs, brains, skin, hands and faces, prosecutors said.

Harvard now faces $1.2–$5.5B in total annual institutional risk exposure—up to 43% of its adjusted operating budget—across grants, medical revenues, student aid, and potential taxes.

Wall Street Journal:
The Trump team’s tactics against Harvard recall how the Obama Administration cut off student aid to for-profit Corinthian Colleges on the pretext of its alleged dilatory response to sweeping record demands. Thousands of students’ educations were disrupted so the Obama team could wave a political scalp.
