Why the Fulbright scholarship program is facing a crisis under Trump's oversight

The Fulbright scholarship program faces turmoil as nearly all board members resign, accusing the Trump administration of unlawful interference in the award process. The administration reportedly blocked approved recipients and initiated unauthorized reviews of 1,200 scholars, sparking concerns about political influence undermining academic freedom. The State Department dismissed the resignations as partisan. This controversy emerges amid broader crackdowns on international students. Former board members urge legal and institutional safeguards to protect the program's legacy, as reported by the Associated Press.
