Washington:
More than 100 American universities and colleges, including Ivy League institutions Princeton and Brown, issued a joint letter on Tuesday in which the “political interference” of President Donald Trump are convicted in the education system.
The move comes a day after Harvard University has sued the Trump administration, who threatened to reduce financing and to impose external political supervision.
“We speak with one vote against the unprecedented government overshalling and political interference that now endangers American higher education,” the letter said.
“We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government overview. However, we must oppose unnecessary infringement of the government,” said it, adding: “We must reject the compelling use of public investigation financing.”
Trump has tried to bring various prestigious universities to cut claims that they tolerated campus anti -Semitism, their budgets, tax -free status and the registration of foreign students threaten.
Various top institutions, including Columbia University, have curved for demands of the Trump government, which claims that the educational elite is too left.
In the case of Harvard, the White House is looking for unprecedented levels of government control on the inner functioning of the oldest and richest university in the country.
