Trump is really pressuring Harvard. First Trump stopped much of the school's federal grants. Now Trump is revoking the foreign student Visas of students at Harvard. Harvard should have cooperated and tamped down on the antisemitic rhetoric on campus. But they refused. The University of Richmond should take note.
JONATHAN TURLEY, GWU LAW PROFESSOR, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: That's right. And it's going to get messy. Both sides are going to win some, lose some.
The president clearly has discretion, at least his administration has discretion in terms of the awarding of certain grants. It has less discretion on contracts that have been signed and things that are required by law. That will be hashed out.
But this is really a war of attrition, and Harvard's going to lose because this is much like what Grant said when he made it clear to that he was happy to fight along this line as long as it takes, because he knew that attrition alone would crush the Confederacy. Harvard's in a similar position. Trump is showing a certain sophistication about higher education, at least the knowledge of it.
This is the soft underbelly of higher education by targeting these foreign students. Over 27 percent of Harvard's class are foreign students, most of whom paid the full rate, full tuition. And that's the same with other universities.
