All members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board announced their resignation on Wednesday, releasing a statement accusing Donald Trump’s administration of political interference in the prestigious exchange program.
The 12-member board alleged the Trump administration “usurped the authority of the Board” by denying Fulbright awards to “a substantial number of individuals” who were selected for the 2025-2026 academic year.
The board also alleged the administration is currently “subjecting” an additional 1,200 international Fulbright recipients to “an unauthorized review process and could reject more.”
Also, letting them put incompetent people in charge will make the entire house of cards collapse more quickly, which in turn will help spur change when people get sick of their shit, which will inevitably happen.
