Doug Heye: Harvard May Win Case over Trump Admin. But They Still Don’t Understand Why They’re Unpopular Throughout the Country

EXCERPT:

HEYE: "Look, I do some work with colleges, and this obviously is an issue that comes up not just with Harvard but a whole lot of public and private universities. And, you know, I think on the legal merits, Harvard probably will win, ultimately. If this goes the full way through the courts, Harvard should be in a good place. But universities also have to be introspective here. And what we’ve seen is — what I’ve seen up close is, they don’t understand not only that they’re unpopular throughout the country, but why they’re unpopular throughout the country. As a proud Tar Heel, I look what North Carolina did when they had campus protests. Students wouldn’t let the American flag hit the ground. The next day the chancellor was on campus and raised the flag back up on the flag pole and said, 'We’re not going to tolerate this here.' That’s an example of how to do it right. And I would tell and have told public and private universities, figure out how to get this right so you can move forward and foreign students aren’t threatened with revocation of their status and important research funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s isn’t threatened as well."
