When you think about the international students and what they bring in terms of their individual cultures, their food, their language, the way they dress, their curiosity, that is as devastating to us as the economic impact. Now Harvard's saying in *** statement that this is another illegal retaliatory step in violation of Harvard's First Amendment rights.
