The opening week of President Trump's second phase has a drastic change that may cause confusion in the United States campus and eroded the financial base for higher education in the United States.
If the administration orders the end of the diversity and imposes a reduction in foreign support, the university president and his lawyers may eventually lose millions of federal funding. 。 Many research projects related to US international development agencies have been suspended, and the program director is planning a layoff.
However, most of the universities were quiet. Both the professor and the administrator seem to be alert to praise for retaliation and provoke the president who has already begun to strengthen the financing spigot. It's wise to be away from the spotlight for some reason.
The person who talked often depends on the carefully adjusted letters and statements, and are noted that they are watching, but they do not provide an obvious opposition. In some cases, researchers and campus leaders have been silently pressed by governments that do not require talking to reporters because their money remains bottled.
“It's a difficult time, an uncertain time, and the combination is almost paralyzed,” said Ted Mitchell, chairman of the American Education Council.
According to Dr. Mitchell, uncertainties said, “I hate to speak with fear.”
Last week's White House's threat, the threat of freezing a trillion dollar with the federal government's subsidies and loans, brought a big risk to universities, but the legal fate of the plan became doubtful. Other orders have paused foreign aids, claiming that federal governments are not heading for diversity, fairness, and coverage, and are still convulsing the campus.
In the trajectory of the campaign, Mr. Trump and others are now a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and despite the Vice President of JD Vans, who has acquired the Yale University, is catching up with an outstanding school executive. I did it. However, the promotion of early policies is impressive on the campus far beyond the Ivy League.
This is the pride of many states, and in some cases, a public research university that is essential for Feed The Future Initure in the USAID The Project. However, it is built mainly on the “innovation lab” of a university in the United States, many of which are red state jaguar notes such as Georgia and Mississippi State University.
The program, which has spent billions of dollars over the years, has been in effect due to the Trump administration officials conducting a wide range of U.S. -aid surveys in the United States.
“It is not the right thing, but a moral duty to review and reorganize foreign support on behalf of diligent taxpayers,” said Tammy Blues, the Ministry of State's spokeswoman, announced a suspension. I mentioned. Last week, the department claimed that it was “preventing” at least $ 1 billion in “expenditure that does not match the first agenda in the United States”.
The university rarely uses the preaching pond of his bully as the administration trumpet the national checkout. Despite the anger of campus protests, tuition levels, specific professors and courses, many individual universities have great upset and good intentions in the community and state.
But for now, the school seems to hate trying to use it. Mississippi refused to comment under Fish's FISH Feed The Future Innovation Lab under a $ 15 million subsidy. A public relations representative of the State Higher Board of Education said, “We are aware of temporary pause,” and said, “I will continue to monitor this order.”
Georgia University, the home of Peanuts Feed The Feed Lab, also mentioned a survey on suspension of assistance to high -education systems in the state. The system led by Sony Purdue, Agricultural Secretary for Trump's first administration, did not respond to an interview.
The USAID survey was not answered about the claim that he had instructed a researcher to avoid talking to the news media. The agency, which was established in 1961, became a worrisome kogama because Elon Musk, whose highest staff is on vacation and is trying to reduce the $ 1 trillion federal expenditure, has declared that the administration will close it. 。 (It is not clear whether Mr. Trump and Musk have such authority.)
On Monday, an agency employee assigned to the Washington Headquarters was told to stay at home from work, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was an agency's agency.
Several silence and hesitation from the campus are derived from confusion. In recent years, university lawyers decide to decide the typical stop work order to determine whether the school can spend their own money to continue research projects that have been supported by the federal government. I scrambled.
In the case of legal, such options may be economically executed at only some universities. Federal dollars are considered practical and long -term options for most projects that depend on Washington.
In fiscal 2023, the federal government gave universities a $ 600 billion study.
Jennifer L. Munucin, a prime minister at the University of Wisconsin University, streamed online online, “suppresses the cost of options so that the university helps the university to confirm that it is smart. I urged the professor. Options. “”
“This migration combines us a huge amount of uncertainty, the rapid change, and changes,” she said. “We have created a potentially important threat to the important aspects of our mission. This is applicable to pear agencies nationwide.”
At the moment, universities nationwide are trying to stop funding by using subtle playbooks. It intervenes with the representative of the Congress, and sometimes develops lobbyists all over Washington with Republican members.
“These are different times,” said Senator Trent Lot, a member of the Mississippi Republican member who became lobbyist after leaving the Congress. “I am convinced that everyone is trying to understand how it is developing and what they need to do. Various teams and people in the town can deal with it. You have to find it.
After Trump's election, the school hindered changes, including the national academic research environment. Nevertheless, Jeffrey P. Gold, president of the Nebraska University, said, Jeffrey P. Gold for the first week of the new administration.
“Suddenly, the scale of the message was the biggest element of surprise,” he said in an interview, adding that if more delayed and reductions were realized, the results of many projects could be damaged.
Some critics of Trump's ambitions to reduce budgets have tried to borrow a language from the administration's rhetoric and make their claims.
Mark Becker, chairman of the Public University Association, said that the possibility of USAID support for research could be dangerous overseas the country's status and competitiveness.
“”We urge the government to resume USAID's important work to guarantee the prosperity and safety of the United States. ” “By enabling scientists in our country to work on global issues, it is to secure US leadership over the next few decades.”
Becker is one of the few academic leaders applying such a clear public pressure to a particular potential cut set.
However, the Democratic Party of Congress attacked the confusion that the administration had been released in higher education.
Nikki Budginski, a representative in the area, in the area, including the University of Illinois University of Illinois, said, “I have been in contact with universities since freezing and have now misunderstood about freezing.” 。
“It's really a full panic,” she added. In a statement, the university recently stated that the large soy innovation lab, which functions to improve the agriculture of 31 countries, has recently been suspended. Since 2013, it has increased $ 50 million.
Republicans, especially conservative voters, are also tolerant of the reductions that affect their communities.
The Republican member Tom Osborne, who instructed the Nebraska University Soccer Team to three national championships and later served in Congress, said: “But sometimes I can pinch a little here and there.”
Ozbourne predicted that some voters would probably not notice some voters.
“I have seen a dissertation and talk to people here,” he said, “I have never heard of a conversation about it.”
But the results are already serious in some campus offices. At the Iowa State University, at least 11 people have promoted the modernization of the curriculum in Kosovo to some extent, and have been linked to a USAID subsidy that has grown from the “Sister State” partnership 10 years ago between Iowa and Kosovo. 。
“We should not make an effort to these activities,” said Curtis R. Youngs, a professor of the animal science department working on the project.
The subsidy is worth $ 4 million in five years. “It's not a big subsidy under the USAID standard,” said Dr. Youngs. “But it's a considerable subsidy from our perspective.”
