Chinese College Gives Harvard International Students 'Unconditional Offers'

Source: Newsweek

A Hong Kong college has promised "unconditional offers" for international students at Harvard after the Trump administration revoked the Ivy League's ability to enroll them.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) said it would help "ensure a smooth transition" for students who may be unable to enroll for the next school year.

The White House's attempt to prevent Harvard enrolling international students next year is the latest blow in its fight with America's oldest—and richest—university, which refused to comply with government's demands to change how it hires and teaches.

A Harvard spokesperson told Newsweek the new action is unlawful and the university is "fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host our international students and scholars." Harvard is already suing over a cut of more than $2 billion in federal funding.

We're a shithole country now I guess. A foreign country has offered the world's best and brightest to their country.
Look how low we've sunk.

Trump is crossing boundaries and lines that would make even the most hard lined third world dictators blush. When do we put our foot down and say enough is enough?

Christ what a grievance stricken shakedown junkie we have for a president.
While I never bought into the notion that we were the greatest country on earth, we were better than the hateful and cruel state we are rapidly becoming.

Snap up that talent that Don is discarding from the US's hand. It's a bad move and it's expected competitors will capitalize upon.
