社会｜ハーバード大留学生問題に関心 / Society | Interest in the Harvard University International Student Issue

Summary

The Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary stated that Japan is closely monitoring the Trump administration’s indication that it plans to revoke the eligibility of international students at Harvard University.

This issue is considered significant for Japan, particularly because there are many Japanese students enrolled at the university. Meanwhile, Harvard has expressed its intention to maintain its acceptance of international students and has pushed back against the Trump administration’s statements.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Hey Chako, do you know about the issue with international students at Harvard University? The Trump administration is saying they’re going to revoke eligibility.
Chako: Really!? Does that mean it will affect Japanese students too?
Log: Yeah, there are a lot of Japanese students, so it seems the government is paying attention to it.
Chako: News these days is just full of scary stories…
Navi: The issue of international students has significant international implications and is considered an important topic, especially for Japan.

Admin’s Note

I have reaffirmed that the issue of international students at Harvard University is a very important topic for Japan as well. In particular, the fact that Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi has a strong interest in this matter is reassuring for Japanese students studying abroad. However, I am also concerned about Harvard’s backlash against the actions of the Trump administration. I would like to pay attention to how international exchanges will evolve and what developments will unfold in the future.
