Fulbright Board Members Resign, Citing Political Interference by WH

All 12 members overseeing the Fulbright Scholarships resigned Wednesday in protest of what they call political interference by the Trump administration.

“To continue to serve after the Administration has consistently ignored the Board’s request that they follow the law would risk legitimizing actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad,” they said in a statement posted to Substack.

The members of the board were appointed by former President Joe Biden.
