Trump says he wants 'names and countries' of all international students at Harvard

He made the request in a Truth Social post May 25, days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's effort to bar the university from enrolling anyone in the United States on a student visa.
"We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming," Trump wrote. "We want those names and countries."
So, considering that the majority of the value of attending these schools is for networking and a school name that signals you've been selected amongst the best in the world, what's left after they kick out all the international students? You'd only get to network with other US citizens, which you can get just from any old state college. You're also not competing with the best in the world so you can no longer claim to have any kind of global standing.
international students are actually large source of tuition money, since they usually pay more for being international students over a domestic one;. the other stuff is only useful if your a lawyer/politician, or MD.
