Universities Can Do Research as Long as It’s ‘In Sync’ With Trump Administration, Education Secretary Says

Education Secretary Linda McMahon said universities can do research as long as they follow laws and align with the Trump administration's goals.
This statement followed the Trump administration’s efforts to cut federal funding and block international students at elite universities like Harvard.
The administration’s actions include a $100 million contract cut, threats to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status, and demands to change university policies.
Patrick Cramer of the Max Planck Society reported a threefold rise in U.S. Applications for research positions, with nearly half from top American institutions.
These developments risk harming U.S. Academic freedom and pushing scientists toward Europe, potentially reshaping global research dynamics.
