Trump said Wednesday that Harvard, whose current student population is made up of more than a quarter of international students, should limit that percentage to about 15%.“I want to make sure the foreign students are people that can love our country,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.The action on Chinese students renews a priority from Trump’s first administration to clamp down on academic ties between the United States and China, which Republicans have called a threat to national security. In April, Trump ordered the Education Department to ramp up enforcement of a federal rule requiring colleges to disclose information about funding from foreign sources.

During his first term, the Education Department opened 19 investigations into foreign funding at U.S. universities and found that they underreported money flowing from China, Russia and other countries described as foreign adversaries.Hours before Rubio announced the change, Eastern Michigan University announced it was ending engineering partnerships with two Chinese universities, responding to Republican pressure. Rep. John Moolenaar, the Republican chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, recently urged Eastern Michigan and other universities to end partnerships with Chinese universities.

Around 1.1 million international students were in the United States last year — a source of essential revenue for tuition-driven colleges. International students are not eligible for federal financial aid. Often, they pay full price.

Northeastern University, which has more than 20,000 international students, has set up “contingency plans” for those who hit visa delays, said spokesperson Renata Nyul, without elaborating.The balance is choosing participants sick enough to qualify but not so sick they have no chance.

“There’s a tremendous number of patients who would be very willing, very willing to do this,” said Dr. Silke Niederhaus of the University of Maryland, who isn’t involved in xenotransplant research but watches it closely.Niederhaus became a kidney transplant surgeon because around her 12th birthday, one saved her life. That kidney lasted three decades. When it failed, it took five years to find another. So she understands the draw of pig research, and urges people to learn their odds of getting a human kidney before volunteering.

If they’re younger, healthier or have a living donor, “I would probably say go with what’s known and what’s proven,” Niederhaus said. But if they’re older and dialysis is starting to fail, “maybe it’s worth taking the risk.”AP video journalist Shelby Lum contributed to this story.
