U.S. universities issue letter condemning Trump's 'political interference'

U.S. universities issue letter condemning Trump's 'political interference'

The Hindu
Tuesday, April 22, 2025 4:16 PM GMT

Over 100 universities condemn Trump's political interference in education, rejecting government control and funding threats.

More than 100 U.S. universities and colleges, including Ivy League institutions Princeton and Brown, issued a joint letter on Tuesday (April 22, 2025) condemning President Donald Trump's "political interference" in the education system.

The move comes a day after Harvard University sued the Trump administration, which has threatened to cut funding and impose outside political supervision.

"We speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education," the letter read.

"We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion," it said, adding: "We must reject the coercive use of public research funding."

Mr. Trump has sought to bring several prestigious universities to heel over claims they tolerated campus anti-Semitism, threatening their budgets, tax-exempt status and the enrolment of foreign students.

The letter said the universities and colleges were committed to serving as centres where "faculty, students, and staff are free to exchange ideas and opinions across a full range of viewpoints without fear of retribution, censorship, or deportation."

Mr. Trump's war against universities has seen him threaten to cut federal funding over policies meant to encourage diversity among students and staff.
