Trump says he wants Harvard to list international students

May 25th (Upi) – President Donald Trump again raged against Harvard University on Sunday and demanded that the university give a list of the names of its international students and the federal states from which they come from.

Trump made his comments in the middle of his persistent feud with the prestigious university on his social platform of truth.

It was not immediately clear what Trump meant because international students from the Foreign Ministry had to provide student visas to which his administration can access.

After the students have arrived in the United States, their status is then monitored by the US Ministry of Homeland Security, which records such students through the database for student information systems and exchange the visitor information system. Universities are legally obliged to regularly update this federal database.

“Why doesn't Harvard say that almost 31% of her students come from foreign countries, and yet these countries, some do not pay in the United States, for the training of their student, they ever want to intend to do so,” said Trump.

“Nobody told us that! We want to know who these foreign students are, a reasonable request because we give Harvard billions of dollars, but Harvard is not exactly. We want these names and countries.”

Trump's comments came after a federal judge on Friday the efforts of his administration to prevent the university from collecting someone to the United States because of a student visa.

“The revocation continues a number of state measures to take revenge against Harvard to give up our academic independence and to submit to the illegal assertion of the federal government's control over our curriculum, our faculty and our student body,” said University President Alan Garber in a statement on Friday morning.

“We condemn this illegal and unjustified action. It endangers the future of thousands of students and scholars all over Harvard and serves as a warning to countless other of colleges and universities throughout the country who have come to America to pursue their training and fulfill their dreams.”

The university has not yet publicly commented on Trump's recent claim.

The collision between Trump and Harvard has escalated for months. In April, the administration requested over 2 billion US dollars to the university of over 2 billion US dollars after Harvard refused to meet the demands to change their curriculum, admission guidelines and the faculties.

The administration also threatened to revoke Harvard's tax -free status and asked the university an audit of “visual diversity”.
