Harvard University can no longer enroll foreign students, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday, escalating the Trump administration's efforts to exert influence over the Ivy League school.

A statement from the Department of Homeland Security said existing foreign students at Harvard must transfer or lose their legal status in the United States.

About one in four Harvard students are international, according to school data.

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said Harvard is "fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus." She said the action against Harvard will "serve as a warning" to other universities.

Last month, Noem demanded detailed records on Harvard's foreign student visa holders' "illegal and violent activities."

Do Europeans (and do Ukrainians) criticize for low foreign language skills?

Today, I found a post of a non-European who complained about how the Spanish criticized foreigners for nor speaking Spanish. It reminds me of posts about how Europeans hate when Americans are not bilingual or are not speaking their mother tongue.

As an Eastern European, specifically, as a Ukrainian, I personally give no sheesh whether you speak Ukrainian or not. However...

First, not all Ukrainians speak English/Spanish/French/German etc.

You cannot simply come here and expect us to speak English fluently. Elder generations speak English badly, my generation (um...actually, I am not gen Z according to our generation theory...I am Y...uummmm...however!) also refuses to speak (but learns), the youngest gen Alpha cannot speak English yet. Why? Because we cannot practice it, we have no extra money to travel all around the world (even before the war, ye know), and as an English language teacher, I have to say the methods of teaching English in Ukraine are...particularly ineffective. Same situations with less spreaded languages.

Second, we want you to speak Ukrainian.

It is a common situation (especially before the war) when a foreigner surely learns French or German but thinks English will be enough in Ukraine. You may say that is because Slavic languages are hard to (at least) speak, but many of you choose russian to learn. Moreover, there are absolutely brainless and somehow pragmatic people (yeah, Chinese, I am speaking about you) thinking it is enough to speak russian in Ukraine, the mother language of Ukrainians does not matter.

We want you to speak Ukrainian. We do not really care how bad you speak. We will surely (try to) understand you and correct if it is necessary. Our language is unique, and we want not only all the Ukrainians to speak it but also foreigners to learn.

btw how did I learn English...? well...I am a philologist of English and Chinese languages, and I have a bachelor degree (yet).

Foreign students have been allowed to stay in the country for as long as they were full-time students making progress in their degrees.

The Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday it intends to publish a proposed rule that would limit the length of time foreign students are allowed to stay in the United States. Since 1978, foreign students, or F visa holders, could stay in the U.S. for their “duration of status,” meaning as long as they were enrolled as a full-time student. The proposed rule set to publish Thursday would allow for foreign students and exchange visitors to stay up to the duration of the program they are participating in, not to exceed a 4-year period.

Immigration Round Up: Published 5/19/25

It’s the latest salvo against universities, many of whom rely heavily on foreign students for funds.

A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration decision to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

Trump's top immigration officials are full-steam ahead in pushing for mass deportations.

Stay Noisy!

There is growing outrage over the detention of a young Venezuelan immigrant who advocates say was duped into giving up his asylum status.

In one weekend in May, more than a 1,000 immigrants were arrested in Florida. The massive crackdown has Trump supporters asking why their ne
