Скачать или смотреть Entire Fulbright Board Resigns Over Political Interference: What’s Next?

The entire 12–member Fulbright Scholarship Board just resigned, accusing the Trump administration of “impermissible political interference.” Founded in 1942, Fulbright has long been America’s flagship academic exchange program, funding 8,000 scholars annually to foster international understanding. This sudden mass resignation follows allegations that nearly 200 U.S. scholars and 1,200 international grantees had awards revoked or subjected to an unauthorized review—actions critics say violate the Fulbright–Hays Act. With all seats now vacant and funding cuts proposed in the FY2026 budget, the program’s future hangs in the balance. We break down what happened, why it matters for academic freedom, and how Congress might respond.
