U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent suspension of student visas for Harvard University applicants has ignited fierce criticism from academics, who warn of long-term damage to America’s education system. The six-month ban, justified by national security concerns, targets international students and exchange programs at the Ivy League institution.
Jay Nygard, a University of Minnesota staff member, told CGTN the move could disrupt university operations and funding. "Students are caught in this visa hysteria," he said, accusing the administration of misunderstanding the value of global academic collaboration. Over 1 million international students contribute $40 billion annually to the U.S. economy, per recent data.
Critics argue the policy risks alienating future leaders and innovators. With universities already grappling with pandemic-related enrollment drops, this move could further strain budgets reliant on overseas tuition fees. Will other schools face similar restrictions? Stay tuned.
