Trump administration threatens to bar Harvard from enrolling foreign students

The narrative casts Harvard as both ideologically corrupted and a threat to national security, without providing credible evidence linking protests or policy decisions to terrorism or antisemitism. The statement that Harvard is “fueling a cesspool of extremist riots” uses inflammatory and emotionally charged language, constituting both an appeal to emotion and biased language. It also attributes causality without substantiation (false cause). Claims that Harvard’s leadership is “spineless” and the university is “a distant memory” attack character rather than policy (ad hominem), and the projection of catastrophic consequences reflects a slippery slope fallacy. References to unrelated ideological concerns serve as a red herring, distracting from the core issue of legal compliance with immigration rules.
