#Trump administration’s attack on university research accelerates
Accélération des attaques contre les #universites par l'administration #usa
https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/trump-administrations-attack-on-university-research-accelerates
On Wednesday, Science learned that the National Institutes of Health has frozen all of its research funding to #Columbia, despite the university agreeing to steps previously demanded by the administration and the resignation of its acting president. In 2024, Columbia had received nearly $700 million in grants from the NIH

Columbia capitulated and still lost. Lessons for other universities

"Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice"

New York state education officials rejected President Trump’s administration’s demand to do away with certain diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, rebuking the Department of Education (DOE) amid threats of pulling funding over those efforts.

The New York State Education Department officials said Friday, “We understand that the current administration seeks to censor anything it deems ‘diversity, equity & inclusion.’

“But there are no federal or state laws prohibiting the principles of D.E.I.,” Daniel Morton-Bentley, counsel and deputy commissioner of New York’s Department of Education, said in a Friday letter to the DOE that was obtained by The Hill.

Morton-Bentley wrote in the letter that state education officials are “unaware” of any jurisdiction DEO has to ax funding with an administrative process taking place.

2/2 "To the students who remain apathetic to Columbia’s disregard for human life and its willingness to discard student safety: As pressure from the federal government intensifies, know that your neutrality on Palestine will not protect you. When the time comes for the federal government to target other causes, it will be your names that #Columbia will offer on a silver platter, it will be your pleas that fall on deaf ears, it will be your just causes that are stonewalled."

‘Universities such as #Columbia, with its 87 Nobel laureates, are global public goods, reliant on the American ecosystem. Much of their research couldn’t be done elsewhere. Bill Clinton called the US “the indispensable nation”. For universities, it is.’
