Harvard says it's suing US over trump international student ban

"Harvard sues Trump administration to halt federal ban on enrolling international students

"Harvard University is opening a new front in its legal battle against the Trump administration, filing suit in federal court Friday in response to the government’s move to revoke the school’s ability to enroll international students.

The complaint by the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institution of higher education argues the decision Thursday to drop the school from the Department of Homeland Security’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program violates the law."

“It is the latest act by the government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government’s demands to control Harvard’s governance, curriculum, and the ‘ideology’ of its faculty and students,” according to a copy of the complaint provided by Harvard.

Harvard is asking a judge to immediately block the order by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem."

It should be clear to most people that this administration is full of incompetent diviants and misfits, where most of them were not even qualified to the jobs they were appointed.

Interesting how republican idea of small government apparently means government has to have its nose in everything, including how a university operates. Who knew that is what small government means to them.
