Nobel laureate and Harvard alumnus Brian Schmidt says Donald Trump's move to ban the world's best university from enrolling students from overseas is a 'profound escalation' of the president's culture wars that will trigger a global response.
'This is a major escalation that is absolutely violating the autonomy of Harvard and presumably other universities across the United States, and I suspect it will create a major backlash, both legally and within the higher education community of the United States and globally,' Schmidt told AFR Weekend.
