Trump’s ambitions are cozy and Lithuanian plans

When this prestigious higher education institution is in the disadvantage of Donald Trump, the Lithuanian, like his other fellow foreigners, is unknown.

We talked to M. Kudarauskas while he was in the US. « We hope everything will be fine, but those Trump statements have frightened. Our university is threatened with that privilege (foreign students – auto comment), it is a little scary, » said a Lithuanian studying statistics and mathematics.

He registered for a visa for a visa half a year ago. He hopes his efforts will be successful.

Still, last week, it turned out that there would be no visa interview. The old one has already completed. « I didn’t even let me in the embassy. I didn’t let it because I didn’t say in the system. Why I didn’t say.

He was hopeful, he filled a new request for a student of the US visa. « The date of the conversation is still unclear.

On Friday, Mr Kudarauskas came from the embassy that « he cannot give him a visa at the given moment. »

Returned to Lithuania

The last week of May was the end of the school year in Harvard, to end the exams, and said goodbye to his fellow students until the new phase. Packed items for a trip home.

« There were a lot of talk about the situation. We received a lot of support from the professor. A very topical topic for everyone. The students of the US care about it, supporting us, » said a Kaunas resident.

When asked about the backup plan, he did not name it. The specific steps to do if they could no longer return to Harvard’s town, not foreseen, but said that other universities around the world are putting a helping hand and inviting them to graduate.

« At worst, it would be an option, but it would be a pity to leave everything, » the guy fell silent.

He found a job in Vilnius for summer. He hopes that he will then be able to return to Harvard to graduate.

Not just studios

Almost four years of science in the US, he has been very nice to him. « I am very grateful to the university for giving me the opportunity to come and study in wonderful conditions. Top -notch professors, excellent conditions. But what is more interesting is the American university and a lot of action, not directly related to studies. It has many different youth organizations, allows various newspapers. Kudarauskas.

He added that businesses are real, only that they are developed by the students themselves. He himself was involved in the activities of one newspaper about international politics. Wrote, then served as editor.

He is grateful to Harvard for the opportunity to get acquainted with people with many different specialties, hobbies, interests and cultural experiences. Such an environment makes you think more broadly, looking at life from different angles.

« The current situation of the uncertainty has been overwhelmed, but I still hope that everything will end well. This decision has not yet entered into force, it is appealed. Until we entered, we are safe, » said Kudarauskas, who said and hoped for the tricky situation.

If Harvard could be completed, he was considering staying in the US for a short while. « The student’s visa still allows you to stay practical exercises for three years. Essentially this is a work related to the study of the study. I was still considering staying and continuing my education.

Harvard does not obey

We turned to Harvard University: How do they look at the situation? What are the spare options? We received contacts with the media and communication spokeswoman Sarah’s Kennedy-O’reilly letter with a link to the University’s International Affairs Division.

It states that President D. Trump June 4th. Proclamation, « This is another illegal administrative response step that violates Harvard’s first correction rights. Harvard will continue to defend its international students. »

There were many talks about the situation. We received a lot of support from the professor. A very relevant topic for everyone. And US students care about it, supporting us.

« On May 29, the judgment allows the University to continue to admit international students and scientists until the case moves forward. Harvard will continue to take steps to protect our international students and scientists, the rights of our community, who are vital to the university’s academic mission and community.

This page also states that this school year has been studying eleven Lithuanians who need a visa in the US to study in the US.

Livija Kaktaitė, a spokeswoman for the Lithuanian Embassy in the US, told Kauno Diena that the Embassy had received no request from Lithuanians studying in the US. Forwarded Harvard University information to students and the exchange program participants with an explanation of the court’s decision on interim measures.

The US Embassy in Lithuania did not respond to the Kauno diena request. We asked if those asking for a student visa are currently registered for conversations, whether such conversations took place in May and continued in June.

Waiting for surnames

US President Trump intensified his campaign against the best universities in the US. Threatened to abolish the academic accreditation of the University of Columbia, BNS said.

Mr Trump seeks to fall asleep universities by claiming that their students from abroad threaten national security, that they ignore anti -Semitism in their towns and retain liberal bias.

The proclaimed proclamation of the White House states that the arrival of international students to start the course at Harvard University will be « suspended and restricted » for half a year, and that existing students from abroad may be eliminated by visas.

« Because of his behavior, Harvard has become the wrong direction for foreign students and scientists, » the presidential order said.

« Don’t be afraid, the government will eventually win, » Trump recently wrote on Truth Social, quoting ELTA. He said he would deprive this « very anti -Semitic higher education institution » $ 3 billion. (EUR 2.6 billion) and distribute them to « business schools across the country ».

Mr Trump said he was waiting for the list of foreign students from the university list. It will decide how « how many radicalized crazy, instigators » will not be able to come to the country or have to leave.

The US administration has banned Harvard University to admit foreign students, who make up more than a quarter of the students. A day later, a federal judge suspended the insurance after a university’s complaint.

Trump is called Harvard University « anti -Semitic, extreme left -wing institution ». Harvard, among other things, refused to comply with the requirements of the US administration, such as canceling diversity programs. The Security Secretary of the National Security Kristi Noem, and accused the university’s leadership in « coordinating actions » with the Chinese Communist Party.

Mr Trump blames Harvard and other elite US universities of having left -wing ideology and facilitating anti -Semitism in student campus. His administration on April 11th. He sent a list to this school with the requirements that Harvard refused to execute.

« Universities are not entitled to admit students from abroad and benefit from their higher tuition fees to help supplement their multimillion funds, » K. Noem wrote on X – Harvard had many opportunities to do the right thing. « They refused. »
