Trump Plans to Drain Universities of Their Pipleline of Foreign Radical Campus Operatives By Cutting Off All Foreign Student Visas to Pro-Hamas Schools

From Ed Morrissey:

Want to get Academia's attention? A president has three options, all within his executive authority:

Cut off grants and other federal research monies
Aggressive use of Title VI, VII, and IX investigations to ensure proper compliance
Sever income streams from abroad via visa management


You could add "tax endowments" to that list, but that would require Congress to act. As Donald Trump is demonstrating, a president can use the three steps above to make universities and colleges know he's serious about cleaning up campus unrest, especially that fomented by terrorist organizations abroad. According to Axios' Marc Caputo, Trump has already begun planning Step 3:

The Trump administration is discussing plans to try to block certain colleges from having any foreign students if it decides too many are "pro-Hamas," senior Justice and State Department officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: The effort -- which could include grand jury subpoenas --marks another escalation of Trump's aggressive crackdown on immigration and antisemitism that civil libertarians say stifles campus speech and has led to several lawsuits.

...

At the heart of the plan is the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which certifies schools to accept student visa-holders. Institutions have been decertified in the past if the government determines they have too many student-visa holders who are using the education system as a ruse to live and work in the U.S., officials say.

Now, the Trump administration is threatening to apply that decertification framework to the post-Oct. 7 demonstrations on college campuses.

Years and years ago, UNLV's basketball team was given, I think, the so-called NCAA "Death Penalty" for various infractions. I forget the details. Stuff like paying "student" athletes to come to the school, probably.

The "Death Penalty" forbade UNLV from participating in NCAA tournaments for like ten years, basically destroying its program. What top athlete wants to go to a college if you know in advance you can never compete in March Madness?

I bring that up because Trump must now be considering something like the "Death Penalty" for Columbia University, an executive order forbidding any federal funds to the school for ten years or more.

Because, reports David Strom, Columbia made promises to Trump to get its federal funding restored.

And the president just publicly stated she lied and had no intention of honoring those promises. It was all a lie to get the money back, and then keep on doing what they're already doing.

[I]magine my shock and horror to discover that the President of Columbia University, AWFL Katrina Armstrong, held a Zoom meeting with her faculty to assure them that all the changes they promised they would make in a letter to President Trump were not going to happen. It was a ruse, a lie, a total falsehood, and that things would go on as before.

Eliana Johnson of the Free Beacon:

Nothing to see here.

That's what Columbia University president Katrina Armstrong told approximately 75 faculty members who assembled on a Saturday morning Zoom call to hear from her about a letter sent by the school to the Trump administration on Friday outlining a series of steps Columbia says it is taking to address "legitimate concerns raised both from within and without our Columbia community, including by our regulators" about the eruption of anti-Semitism on campus in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks.

Throughout the conversation, which lasted approximately 75 minutes and included Columbia provost Angela Olinto and general counsel Felice Rosan, Armstrong and Olinto downplayed or denied that change was underway, particularly when it came to meeting the Trump administration's demand to put the school's Middle East, South Asian, and African Studies department under academic receivership.

"This is not a receivership," Olinto told the group. "The provost will not be writing or controlling anything. It's the faculty," she continued, adding, "Your department is totally independent."

Columbia's Middle East Studies department has been a flashpoint in the disputes that have roiled the university since Oct. 7, with critics citing its faculty members as a leading source of anti-Semitism. One of them, Joseph Massad, described the Hamas massacre as "awesome."

Armstrong went on to say the school had made "no changes" to rules surrounding the sorts of masked protests that plagued the university last year, though Friday's letter announced that masks are no longer allowed "for the purpose of concealing one's identity in the commission of violations of University policies or state, municipal, or federal laws."

The Washington Free Beacon obtained a transcript of the meeting, which seems to have been created because Columbia administrators were unable to disable the Zoom function that generates an audio transcript. The transcript itself captures administrators struggling to prevent the software from creating a transcript and then moving forward without success.

Perfect -- they tried to hide the admission of their lies, but they were too incompetent to figure out how to turn off the auto-transcript feature.

"I am unable to turn it off, for technical reasons, so we're all just going to have to understand," an unnamed administrator said at the outset. "This meeting is being transcribed. If you are the requester of this, I would ask you to turn it off."

"Yeah, that seems to be the default. I keep telling my people to stop this thing," Olinto, the provost, responded.

They all wanted the transcription turned off so that no one would know what was said on the call.

The Death Penalty is needed. Schools throughout America are in nearly-open defiance against the Supreme Court's ruling that discrimination against whites and Asians is just as illegal as discrimination against the left's favored "BIPOC" groups. But they've all conspired to continue this discrimination by requiring "diversity statements" from students, which are just essays wherein minority students tell the school they're minorities so that the schools can give them DEI advantages while claiming "We never demanded anyone tell us their race!"

At some point, the Death Penalty has to start coming down, and banning these schools from receiving any taxpayer dollars for 20 to 50 years.

Whatever we do, we can't eject these Scholars contributing so much to Humanity:
