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.”
MAGA are patient, playing the long game, they’ll wait? These are the guys that wear diapers to virtue signal they’re Trumpers, and charge into the Capitol building when they lose an election.
They’re neither intelligent nor patient - they just have NEAR ZERO pushback from all the people in institutions around them, everyone turning to the person next to them going, “gosh that’s … can you believe they’re doing that - that’s unconstitutional and definitely illegal”.
I read the article, and even the outgoing Fulbright board just handball the problem to the next people.
Why the hell are they not doing that? It’s cowardly and its essentially a strongly worded letter.
