Numerous universities and colleges in the United States, including prestigious institutions like Harvard and MIT, have expressed concerns over "political interference" by the Trump administration, criticizing its attempts to influence educational policies and pause federal funding. While most Ivy League schools signed a joint letter condemning these actions, Dartmouth College chose not to participate, instead focusing on legal battles related to funding pauses and new research grant policies. This situation underscores a broader debate within academia about how to address perceived governmental intrusions, with potential implications for the future relationship between higher education and the federal government.
