President Donald Trump doubled down on his attacks against Harvard University, saying Wednesday that the Ivy League school should have a cap on the percentage of foreign students, APA reports citing CNN.
“I think they should have a cap of maybe around 15%, not 31%. We have people want to go to Harvard and other schools, they can’t get in because we have foreign students there,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Harvard has said in court documents that full-time international students make up about a quarter of its student body.
Harvard has broadly refused many government demands, including that it hand over foreign students’ entire conduct records and allow audits to confirm it has expanded “viewpoint diversity.”
