The law was modified for the last spring semester but will not be extended into the new school year.
You're correct. There is already an existing law on that.

Meanwhile, JK's daddy "donated" $2.5M right before he was admitted to Harvard in 1999.

Sadly, despite trump attending Wharton, he's still a horrible businessman. Looks like the only thing he learned was to file bankruptcy after losing other people's money.

I read somewhere that some people in high society in NYC had a saying ...," Want to make a small fortune? Give trump a big fortune."

Something tells me Trump wanted to get into Harvard and couldn’t. That’s why he’s bitching it at it 😂
Your 'something' is way off. Wharton is the top business school in the country. It's a part of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania.

Is Wharton better than Harvard?

Right. I don't put a lot into the memories of an 81 year old man.

It is shameful that they are even in the position to do this behind such a trash move.
It really is. And there is no real logic to it other than to be cruel. There are on average 1 million international students in the US. Making students and universities scramble at this point is ludicrous. It's just Trump's way to once again appeal to his base - sticking it to higher education and foreign nationals at the same time.
Our numbers are steady climbing because he has politicized this pandemic to death, stirring up confusion and refusing to quit damn doing it.

It’s disgusting to cause problems for these universities and picking on students as if getting an education isn’t stressful enough with all this going on. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with this when I was in college with no pandemic.

He is trash for this.

Hopefully they’ll bond over the fact that no one likes them anymore 😂. They can support each other, become BFFs.

Lol... as it’s looking right now, he’s doing that very well all by himself. Threatening to defund schools is just another example of how all this “presidency” is about stroking his sick ego and. It about doing anything right. I mean, he’s threatening to leave kids without an education unless everybody does what he wants.
His twitter page has been more crazy and unhinged than usual. I was looking at his train wreck of a timeline yesterday.
Hell, I’d rather not know English if I had to meet with that obnoxious asshole. Lol!! I don’t keep up with Mexican politics so I didn’t know their President wasn’t well liked too.

Oh, he won by a landslide, but now that he has proven to be a loser, his popularity is in the pooper.
He’s our Trump and I’m willing to say he may be the world leader that is worst than Trump, lol.
Maybe they can start a support group for incompetent leaders who lost their country’s support. They need hugs!

81 is too old ... Hmm... But you have no problem hanging on and defending the word of a 74 "stable genius" who erroneously claims he doesn't know and no one knows what the 19 in CovId-19 stands for; and allegedly asked around and no one is able to tell him what the 19 is ...?

It makes sense. Why would they need to be here if they're not physically going to class? They can turn their computer on from their home country the same as here, can't they? I'm not understanding the upset. Just because "orange man bad"? I don't find this upsetting in the least.

What is actually upsetting is the huge ripoff of these universities not operating a physical institution for these students, but they're not discounting the tuition. That's something to complain about. That's not fair to these kids and their families AT ALL! That would infuriate me if I had a kid in school.

To get an MBA at Wharton is prestigious. Something Trump doesn’t have. Trump went to a commuter school for his first two years and then transferred to the undergraduate program at Wharton. Not even close to the same as its graduate school.

Trump is the only modern day president without an advanced degree. His voters were too impressed with The Apprentice to notice.

Can you ever get through a post without saying orange man bad. It doesn’t make any sense.

Because the United States can’t get the virus in control, there is no way to get a flight to Europe and other places because flights from the US are banned.. One million students. How are they supposed to get home? And tens of thousands of empty rentals if they all had to leave. bankrupt landlords.
