Most the universities will do the thing asked in order to re-instate their student visa certification. i.e. provide intel needed to deport any students that they believe have opinions that are not in the interest of national security.

Most likely Harvard will try to fight it in court and then give in if they lose. It's not likely we see the future decertification continue into the academic year.

So people committing thought crimes huh?

This is the US in 2025 - indefinitely imprisoning people without any actual charges for having opinions the current administration doesn't like.

This is the country of free speech zones away from the main event in the early 2000s and sending WWI dissenters to jail in 1914. You’ve long pretended to have freedoms you’ve never actually been given and this is hardly new.

More like those freedoms get violated on occasion in the name of national security, because administrations are largely able to get away with it during certain crisis.
