A $10,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services helps a tribal college in Michigan maintain library services during renovations. However, programs like this face jeopardy after President Trump issued an executive order targeting the IMLS and other federal entities he deemed unnecessary. The American Historical Association argues that IMLS funding is vital for providing access to humanities resources, especially in rural areas of the U.S. This initiative reflects broader financial instability affecting colleges and universities due to reduced federal support.
"The agency plays a crucial role in providing humanities access to Americans, especially in rural areas," the American Historical Association said in a statement Wednesday, imploring members to contact their congressional representatives in protest.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order last Friday eliminating "to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law" the IMLS and six other federal entities he's deemed "unnecessary," including the United States Agency for Global Media.
