More Than 180 College Leaders Blast Trump's 'Unprecedented Government Overreach'
HuffPost
College leaders across the country signed a letter saying they "oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses."
More than 180 college leaders blasted President Donald Trump’s attempts to cut federal funding for universities if they don’t fall in line with his administration’s demands.
The letter, published Tuesday by the American Association of Colleges and Universities and signed by university presidents across the country, warned against “unprecedented government overreach.”
“As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education,” the letter reads.
This past month, the Trump administration has halted billions of dollars in federal grants to several universities after accusing the schools of “antisemitism” over campus protests against Israel’s attacks on Gaza. The administration has also cited diversity, equity and inclusion programs at several universities as reasons to cut funding.
The signatories come from Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton, to large state schools and even smaller liberal arts colleges.
