Opinion | The Plot to Oust the President of George Mason University This campaign is not about policy. It’s about power.

This article is as clear and coherent about what is happening at Virginia institutions of higher education as anything I have read. It has nothing to do with antisemitism or civil rights; it is a coordinated and hostile political takeover.

When the government cancels your research grant, here’s what you can do The mass cancellation of US federal grants marks yet another escalation in political interference in science, but there are ways to keep crucial research going.

So your research area has been politicized and your federal funding cancelled, what now? I try to give some answers in this opinion piece for @nature.com 1/

What losing billions in federal grants means for universities, and the nation The Trump administration has so far frozen about $11 billion in research funding. University leaders say no other source can fill the void.

I think most people don't understand exactly what universities do or how they are funded. It's worth reading this and then talking with folks you know about it.πŸ§ͺ

NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionatelyβ€”and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities

More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated in the past month under orders from President Donald Trump’s administration aimed to bring groups historically underrepresented in science into the mainstream. scim.ag/4jYhB8e

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

We Need the Arts Now More than Ever With the Trump administration cutting grants to the National Endowment for the Arts, a crucial lifeline is being lost.

"By contrast, the NEA, as a federal agency, took critiques of the whiteness and lack of diversity in arts funding seriously, and has been trying to rectify that for the last decade and a halfβ€”undoubtedly why this administration has decided to target it."
