We often hear arguments about how foreign students pose a national security threat or take opportunities from young Americans. And while there’s truth to these claims, much less has been said about how mass enrollment of foreign students (e.g., Harvard currently ~30% international students) has fragmented campus culture and...

I was invited to the United Nations to talk about Iran, especially about athletes and the current situation in Iran. I spoke to more than 4,000 students from around the world. I told them about Iran and about all the limitations that women and girls face there. I talked about the courage of students in Iran and about a regime that kills students. I told them that in my country the new generation is changing everything, but they are paying for it with their lives. While I was speaking, my mind was constantly thinking about Nika, Sarina, Raha, Abolfazl, Kian and the many students who were killed. I was just trying to control myself so I wouldn’t start crying. I also told them how meaningful it is that students from different countries, at such a young age, have the opportunity to come to New York and sit together at the United Nations, meet each other, learn together, and also enjoy many cultural and recreational programs. I told them the stories of Arnika and Rebin & … After the event, the organizers told me it was the first time they had seen students listening so carefully and with so much attention. Some of the students were even crying. I told them that one day, when Iran is free, we will organize an event like this in Iran with students from all over the world, and we will host them there. Some of them told me, “When that day comes, we will bring flowers for the students who were killed and we will honor their memory.”💔 I had the honor of meeting Vladyslav Heraskevych OLY, the Ukrainian Olympic champion, who chose not to remain silent and used his platform as an athlete to be a voice for the people of his country. We had a very meaningful conversation about Ukraine and the role of athletes in difficult times.✌🏻 #Iran

We are suing Cooper Union on behalf of 10 brave Jewish students targeted with Jew-hatred. The suit claims Cooper Union — a private college in the East Village specializing in architecture, art, and engineering - failed to take measures to shield Jewish students from bigotry following Hamas' Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, resulting in the slaughter of 1,200 Israeli and foreigners. This case is about the egregious and unaddressed rise in antisemitism at Cooper Union, which led to a group of Jewish students being locked in a campus library to shield them from an unruly mob of students that was calling for the destruction of Israel and worldwide violence against Jews.

In the last 1.5 years, there is no one video that better encapsulates the experience of American Jewish students on college campuses than this; please share: Meet Jonathan. In the Spring, Jonathan had his Israeli and American flag stolen by fellow students at Columbia University. Last month, Jonathan was punched in the face by another pro-Palestinian masked classmate on campus. Today, Jonathan was barred from entering class as masked vandals rioted inside the building, calling for an intifada. Of the dozens of masked vandals, all were allowed to peacefully exit at 10:30, facing zero disciplinary consequences. Jonathan has had his property stolen, been physically assaulted, and denied entry to class. Jewish American students across the country are united in our call: #JusticeforJonathan. Until that is met, we are asking for 3 things: 1. Americans of all political and religious stripes to publicly stop donating to the Ivy Leagues 2. The federal government to withhold most federal funding from antisemitic college campuses like Columbia and Harvard 3. Mask bans at all protests on campuses Please join us in this urgent call.

Last night after my talk at US, I sat down with several of the students to hear about what they've been facing for the last two years as Jews on campus. It isn't pretty. USF is one of many schools that has turned into a cesspool of antisemitism and it hasn't been getting enough mainstream attention. The administrations at these smaller universities must be held accountable as well! Please share.

In Aug 2025, Elsa Johnson, a Stanford student, wrote a piece for The Times about how members of the CCP tried to recruit her as a spy. Since then, the junior, who is majoring in East Asian Studies, has faced a wave of harassment from Mandarin speakers who have called her and threatened her and her family. The FBI also informed Johnson that the CCP is physically monitoring her whereabouts on campus — making her fear for her own safety. On Mar 26 she testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, urging Congress to do something to protect America’s students who “face transnational repression”, given that Stanford “has chosen not to address this problem at all”. Here is an abridged and lightly edited version of her testimony. ======= After I wrote a first-person account of my experience in The Times of London, the repression only worsened. Last summer, while conducting research on China in Washington, DC, I began receiving regular phone calls from unknown US numbers. When I answered the calls in English, the callers would switch to Mandarin. In one case, the caller referenced my mother. These bizarre calls were intimidation attempts, designed to remind me that neither my family, nor I, is safe from transnational repression by the CCP. Then, this past fall, the FBI informed me that I am being physically monitored on Stanford’s campus by agents of the Chinese Communist Party. They told me that my family is also at risk and is being monitored. As a 21-year-old who grew up loving the Chinese language and culture, I never imagined that studying it would put me in a position where a foreign intelligence service is tracking my movements on my own campus and monitoring my family. I fear for my safety and for my family’s safety. The intimidation calls have not stopped. Just this week, I received another call from a US number. After exchanging hellos, the caller switched to Mandarin and asked whether I had finished dinner. That cannot be a coincidence. It is happening to me on American soil because I reported on the activities of a foreign government at an American university. My experience is disturbing, but it reflects a much larger pattern playing out on campuses across the country. According to Freedom House, the Chinese government is the greatest perpetrator of transnational repression targeting students and scholars in the United States. Their 2024 report found that international students and faculty face surveillance and coercion by foreign governments. More than 1.3 million international students study at American colleges and universities, yet many are unable to exercise the freedoms that are supposed to define an American education. There is also infrastructure already embedded on American campuses that facilitates this system. Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSAs) exist at roughly 150 American colleges and universities, including Stanford. The US State Department has stated plainly that the CCP created the CSSA to monitor Chinese students and mobilize them against views that dissent from the Party’s stance. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission found in 2018 that CSSAs receive guidance from the CCP through Chinese embassies and consulates, and that they are active in carrying out work consistent with Beijing’s United Front strategy. In some cases, the local Chinese consulate must approve CSSA presidential candidates. Documents obtained by Foreign Policy showed that at Georgetown, the CSSA accepted embassy funding amounting to roughly half its total annual budget. The Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Stanford, or ACSSS, is a recognized student organisation that receives university support and funding. The CCP’s United Front uses these organisations as vehicles for surveillance and influence. American universities are supposed to be places where people can think and speak freely. Right now, for too many students, they are not.

🚨 Wanna puke? Were you told that Americans under 30 were silver-spooned lazy whiners? DePaul University fleeced American taxpayers for $223 MILLION in federal funding last year. They’re about to get that amount again for 2026-2027. There are 2,390 foreign students with J-1 visas at DePaul. They make up 10-12% of the student body. President Robert Manuel’s total compensation is $1.18 MILLION. Since taking the position in 2022, foreign enrollment at DePaul has risen 24%. University presidents earn performance bonuses based on how many students they bring in, and how many pay full tuition — like foreigners. Last year, 658 of those foreign students were approved for OPT under President Trump’s watch. Those foreign students will now be in our workforce, competing against American students for jobs. During those years, students can apply for citizenship and may genuinely be fast tracked due to the fact that they have employment. Tell me again how lazy and silver-spooned all American students are. It’s a damnable lie. They’re up against an entity that our own government is importing. Karoline Leavitt Department of State

Ingraham: how is allowing 600,000 students from China putting America first? Lutnick: If you didn't have those 600,000 students you’d empty them from the top. All the students would go up to better schools and the bottom 15% of universities and colleges would go out of business in America. So his view is he is taking a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump. Ingraham: Why are you helping Harvard? That’s just helping Harvard and UCLA. I know Trump has always been very pro-chinese student. I just don't understand it for the life of me. Those are 600,000 spots that American kids won’t get Lutnick: I am involved in changing the H1B program Ingraham: That’s a scam

Ohio House just passed S.B.1 —forbids colleges from teaching historic events like slavery or Holocaust definitely did happen. Mandates that students "reach their own conclusions about all controversial events." "They say Nazis should be taught from 'both sides' which is insane and very fascist," said one of the college students protesting the bill. The bill also prohibits universities from taking positions on a "controversial belief or policy." Defined as climate policies, politics, foreign policy, DEI programs, immigration policy, marriage, abortion, or "any belief or policy that is the subject of political controversy." Students marching the 3 miles from Ohio State University to the State Capital in protest said, "This would make us think long and hard before committing to stay in Ohio." #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited

Free speech is under attack on university campuses across the country. We want to change that. The Free Speech Union administers the Ian Mactaggart Programme, which helps young people — especially students — promote and defend free speech. While we are witnessing a toxic culture of censorship on campus, with students ostracised or hounded out for holding and expressing lawful beliefs, there is also a growing determination to keep open debate alive. The programme supports more than 16 societies across the UK, as well as groups that have launched podcasts and organised conferences. FSU Education Officer Vinay Kapoor has been travelling across the country to meet students who are standing up for free speech on campus. Hear from Vinay Kapoor and Connie Shaw below and find out more about the Ian Mactaggart Programme 👇

The University as a Joke: My UNIABUJA UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA Experience When the Students’ Union Government of the University of Abuja, led by Comrade Yusuf Tobi Jamiu, invited me for an interactive session with students, I was skeptical. Given the recent decline in the courage and independence of students’ unions across Nigeria, I didn’t expect much. Still, I decided to give it a try. I came straight from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to the University. An advance team already on the ground hinted that something was off; they couldn’t locate the Students’ Union President on time, and the hall reserved for the event looked deserted. Soon after, one of them informed me that the university authorities had cancelled the program. Not long after, Comrade Jamiu himself reached out to say the event would still hold. So, I headed to the university gate. There, I was stopped by campus security, who bluntly told me the management had declared my visit “unacceptable.” They claimed the Students’ Union had no permission to host me on campus. I alighted from the vehicle and sat on a dilapidated chair by the gate, refusing to leave immediately a silent protest. As I sat there, I witnessed a scene that summed up the death of our university system, a female student was barred from entering the campus for “improper dressing.” When I asked if the university bought clothes for its students, the confused security men eventually allowed her in, perhaps to avoid a scene. Moments later, Comrade Jamiu arrived to apologise, visibly helpless. I couldn’t help but wonder whether he had been elected to lead or to kneel, to represent the students or to appease the school authorities. After a brief conversation, I left saddened but not surprised. What I saw at the University of Abuja was not an institution of learning, but a graveyard of courage and ideas. Our universities are dying — not for lack of resources, but for lack of integrity, independence, and freedom. Nigerian universities are dead. What remains is the struggle to resurrect them.

OAU transport system was near perfect, adequate buses and bikes, we rarely experienced queues until the First Lady came and decided she didn’t like the ease of transportation and introduced “change” by donating CNG buses. The school management in turn banned all motorcycles and commercial buses on campus and subjected over 30,000 students to just about 50 buses and a few tricycles. OAU has one of the largest land masses of any Nigerian university, yet students are now stranded daily. This is a Monday morning where students are supposed to rush for class, but they are stuck at the campus gate because of the inefficiency of the CNG buses. Students are struggling to go to class in the morning and in the evenings to even get back to their hostels. Students staying off campus now spend almost double to get to campus, all alternative transport means have been removed The management have cars to bypass all of this, but majority of students do not. Yet they released statements talking about how the buses will “ease transportation” and even implied students appreciate the system. Meanwhile, students are trekking, missing classes, and spending hours in queues. Let it be clear that students do not appreciate this system. It has made our lives harder, not better. What used to be a smooth system has now become a daily struggle. There are many pressing issues in this school, but they chose to dismantle a working transport system and replace it with hardship. We can no longer remain silent. Let the whole world know what OAU students are going through. Please if you come across this tweet, help us retweet it whether you are an OAU student or not We demand our towngboro buses and motorcycles back.

This is HUGE. According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans who say abortion is morally acceptable has dropped from 54% in 2024 to 49% today. That's a cultural shift happening in real time. I am not surprised, though. This is the result of our hard work at Students for Life of America | Pro-Life Gen and our 1700+ student groups nationwide. We've seen it at the National Pro-Life March and our National Pro-Life Summit, where the crowds keep growing and getting younger. We've seen it in the millions of conversations the Pro-Life Generation has had with their peers about the humanity of the preborn. Young people are rejecting the lies of the abortion industry and embracing the truth that every human life has value. I'm incredibly proud of the work being done by Students for Life and Students for Life Action to build a culture where abortion becomes not just illegal, but unthinkable. Keep going. Hearts are changing. Minds are changing. And the culture is changing too! Read the full article at the link in the comments.

I've debated a lot of professors on this campus tour, and this sociology professor seems to believe that President Trump is robbing the economic future of students, when the exact opposite is true. In the 25 or so days since this exchange the S&P 500 is up over 8.4%, multiple trade deals are being negotiated that will open up markets to American goods, protect domestic production, and create jobs for his students. Over $5 trillion in foreign direct investment has already been committed, and that's in just over 100 days. The "experts" have been wrong about nearly everything in recent years. They were wrong about tariffs in Trump 1.0, and I believe they'll be proven wrong again in Trump 2.0

I've debated a lot of professors on this campus tour, and this sociology professor seems to believe that President Trump is robbing the economic future of students, when the exact opposite is true. In the 25 or so days since this exchange the S&P 500 is up over 8.4%, multiple trade deals are being negotiated that will open up markets to American goods, protect domestic production, and create jobs for his students. Over $5 trillion in foreign direct investment has already been committed, and that's in just over 100 days. The "experts" have been wrong about nearly everything in recent years. They were wrong about tariffs in Trump 1.0, and I believe they'll be proven wrong again in Trump 2.0

NEW: Texas Governor Greg Abbott says protesters at University of Texas "belong in jail" adding that "antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas." State troopers and police officers made over 20 arrests on campus, many charged with trespassing. Students claim that the protests were peaceful until the police arrived. "I didn’t think there would be this much police intervention from what’s supposed to be a peaceful protest. Not very peaceful when there’s a bunch of aggressors around, especially on horses," said one student. Abbott also called for all "antisemitic" students to be expelled from the school. "Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled." Interview: Monica Madden

I was heartbroken to learn about the shooting on Brown U's campus yesterday. Guns have no place on college campuses, and here in Utah policymakers have removed the authority of campus leaders to regulate firearms, even allowing students to store them in dorm rooms. This is inappropriate and dangerous, and I will be proposing a bill to change the law that puts our students at risk. If we don't have these conversations after tragedies like this, we'll never see changes in the right direction. We can't let more young people fall victim to unnecessary violence because adults are unwilling to make tough decisions.

I can’t believe this is real Homeless college students are being given exclusive campus parking lots so they can sleep in their cars at night California Democrats are introducing bills to expand this to ALL college campuses “In California, there's been multiple bills that want this at your college also. This is Long Beach City College. The program here also offers these students showers, Wi-Fi, food, and all night security. — Around 70 students at this college sleep in their cars at night. California has become so unaffordable that last year, one in four community college students reported homelessness and 10% of state school students reported homelessness. — What you're seeing here is years of failed state policies when it's so expensive or difficult to build housing in the state. These are people trying to pursue a higher education with whatever means they can, even in these conditions, to hopefully obtain a better life. — Over the past two years, two bills have been introduced to make this a statewide program required at all communities community and state colleges” “California is one of the best places on Earth, but you know it's been a bad few years when your state's best solutions to its problems start looking dystopian”

Sainik School Tragedy: Bail Hearing Ends in Controversy In a shocking turn of events, the bail hearing of the accused students in the Sainik School student death case ended with the Principal Magistrate of the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) recusing himself from giving an order. According to Tadu Nancy, the victim's sister, the Principal Magistrate abruptly left the courtroom without providing a proper reason. The JJB later passed a verdict, stating that the accused students would be placed under the custody of the Vice Principal, where the accused students will be staying separately at the school, instead of being sent to a juvenile home. This decision has sparked widespread outrage, with many questioning the fairness of the judicial process. The parents of the other students studying at Sainik School have expressed deep concern over the safety of their children, especially since the accused students are still in the school under the Vice Principal's custody. They have alleged that the accused students, were seen playing and eating with other students after the Principal Magistrate sent the 8 CCLs(child in conflict with law) under the custody of Vice Principal of Sainik School on 4th of November, which has further fueled their anger and frustration. The CCTV footage of the incident has revealed chilling details about the extent of the bullying and harassment that the victim suffered. According to the footage, the Class 8 students started giving punishment to Haro for 30 minutes, during which his legs were shivering and after that the Class 10 students collectively punished all the Class 7 students together, and then they punished the victim alongside with a another student and then again they punished the victim alone. The footage also shows that a Class 11 student intervened to stop the punishment, but the damage had already been done. The victim was allegedly harassed mentally and physically for three hours before the incident occurred. The family has demanded that the accused students be removed from the school and placed in a juvenile home until the case is resolved. They have also demanded that the school take strict measures to prevent bullying and ensure the safety of all students. Three more students have been implicated in the incident. Initially, it was stated that these three students were not involved, but a review of the CCTV footage has revealed that they were indeed involved in the alleged ragging and physical a result, the parents of the victim have announced that they will file a complaint against these three students as well. The next bail hearing in the case is scheduled for November 15. The parents have urged the authorities to check the backup of the CCTV footage for the past 15 days and to take action against all the students involved in the incident.
