Entire Fullbright Board Resigns, Accuses Trump of Interference

All 12 board members of the Fullbright program that promotes educational exchanges around the globe resigned because of what they said is political interference in the program's operations. Exiting board members point to the State Department's cancellation of 200 scholarships as an example of the administration's illegal, political interference. Those scholarships were rejected after State Department staff reviewed the scholars' research. In addition, the department is reviewing 1,200 scholars from other countries, even though they have already been approved.
