Image of a substack post. Kathy BREAKING: the entire 12-person Fulbright Scolarship board quits in protest due to the MAGA administration's illegal political interference in their operations. This is an academic bombshell of historic proportions... "Effective immediately, members of the Congressionally mandated Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board voted overwhelmingly to resign from the board, rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the law, compromise U.S. national interests and integrity, and undermine the mission and mandates Congress established for the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago," the board wrote in its official statement. The Fulbright scholarship program is one of our nation's most prestigious and helps fund foreign exchanges for brilliant American students while bringing distinguished foreign scholars, students, and artists to the United States.
