petersuber<p>Open letter from 10 former US university presidents or chancellors:<br><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/05/15/trump-harvard-uva-michigan-florida-unc/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/opinions/20</span><span class="invisible">25/05/15/trump-harvard-uva-michigan-florida-unc/</span></a> </p><p>US higher education "is under attack. Because of the financial consequences from federal stop-work orders, some universities…have curtailed, or even stopped, admitting graduate and professional students. This is not a matter of cutting waste or curbing frivolous research. These cuts will translate into shortages of trained doctors and nurses who provide critical care; engineers who keep bridges, utilities and water supplies safe; and scientists who discover drugs and therapies. Federal research funding for universities is not a subsidy. Under previous administrations, it was a competitive process through which taxpayers invest in discovery and innovation. In a recent world ranking of the top 50 universities influencing patented inventions, U.S. universities held 30 of the top 50 spots and Harvard was No. 1. This research enterprise helped build the world’s most powerful economy. It is a bargain by any measure." </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DefendResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendResearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Funding</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/TrumpVResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpVResearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span></p>

All Americans, whether they went to college or not, have benefited from this compact…The undersigned associations represent those colleges and universities and the communities they serve. On behalf of tens of millions of students, educators, researchers, and administrators nationwide, we oppose recent government actions that jeopardize this partnership…This balance is dangerously disrupted when billions of dollars in funding for education and competitively awarded research grants are held hostage for political reasons…Release of funds obligated to institutions should not be conditioned on which students universities admit, what kinds of academic programs they offer, and how they organize and oversee their faculty. Campuses should not be attacked for building communities that reflect their missions and the broad diversity of this country. Students and scholars should not fear deportation just for exercising their right to speak freely."</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DefendResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendResearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Takedowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Takedowns</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/TrumpVResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpVResearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span></p>
