Trump bans Harvard University from enrolling international students
Apparently the student cohort includes about 120 Australians, all of who might be force to leave the USA under the action which Trump is taking against US uni's.

Trump claims they support "anti-Semitism" but looked at from outside of the USA's feverish domestic politics, I wonder if he is really only vexed that they allow staff and students to express views he dislikes.
While his other excuse, "anti-American views"; whatever he believes them to be, echoes the ironically-titled House Un-American Committee that wrecked the livelihoods of so many academics and entertainers last Century.
I do not accuse President Trump of going as far as Presidents Erdogan (Turkey - where jailing journalists is the government's favourite sport) and Orban (Hungary), even if he admires such men. Yet I think these developments ought worry all Americans, whatever their personal Party loyalties, whatever their academic backgrounds.
While this could also lead to overseas repercussions, particularly risking cramping international academic co-operation.
