Democratic Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey criticized the Trump administration for cutting federal funding to research universities, specifically Harvard, emphasizing that this endangers U.S. scientific advancement and economic strength. She highlighted the detrimental impact on intellectual capital, with countries like China actively recruiting U.S. faculty and students. Healey noted ongoing litigation, including Harvard's lawsuit against the funding freeze, which affects critical resources, and emphasized her role in opposing these policies to preserve educational and research integrity in America.
Healey argues that such funding cuts don't 'put America first' and are forcing scientists out, making the U.S. 'weaker and less competitive.'
Harvard sued the Trump administration after it froze more than $2.2 billion in funding, claiming First Amendment violations and procedural misconduct.
