Harvard student leaders take bold stance in defence of fellow internationals, student body at large
Harvard students protested Tuesday after the US government said it intends to cancel all remaining financial contracts with the university, President Donald Trump's latest attempt to force the prestigious institution to submit to unprecedented oversight. Hundreds of students gathered to oppose Trump's widening offensive, including Tuesday's measures estimated to be worth $100 million, against the university that has drawn his ire for refusing to give up control of curriculum, admissions and research. For a deeper understanding from a Harvard student's perspective on the US government's unprecedented offensive against universities and international students, France 24's Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Abdullah Shahid Sial, originally from Lahore, Pakistan. Acknowledging that "writing this letter carries a great deal of personal risk for all of us", he penned a letter to the editor in the Washington Post with fellow student leaders Leo Gerdén from Stockholm and Karl Molden from Vienna.
