Dozens of higher education associations have publicly urged President Trump to restore the historic partnership between American universities and the federal government. They argue that this compact has significantly benefitted the nation and positioned American higher education as a global leader. The letter, signed by various institutions including religious and governing bodies, demands the unfreezing of research funds and opposes conditions that affect student admissions and university programs. The collective aim is to secure a supportive environment for educational diversity and academic freedom.
"On behalf of tens of millions of students, educators, researchers, and administrators nationwide, we oppose recent government actions that jeopardize this partnership."
"The entire country benefits when policymakers and higher education leaders respect a common understanding of the vital role colleges and universities play in advancing the social, cultural, and economic well-being of the United States."
