During a segment on Newsnation’s Cuomo broadcast on Friday, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz highlighted the implications of the Trump administration’s policies, particularly noting that while it may be justifiable to restrict international students from hostile nations, the administration’s actions have also impacted students from countries like Israel, Canada, and the UK by discontinuing registrations for all foreign students.
Dershowitz remarked, “President Trump is completely justified. If these were students from Nazi Germany in 1935, and the president opposed their entry, the liberals would have fully supported that.”
He went on to say, “While research projects related to diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer should not be affected, they ought to cut funding for less critical areas such as seminaries and public schools. It’s important to refine focus on which international students should be welcomed.”
Later, Dershowitz emphasized that universities need to engage in serious self-reflection regarding their responsibilities in this situation.
