"We call on the
Trump administration to rescind the memo issued by the White House Office of
Management and Budget. This unprecedented order to pause grants, loans, and
other direct federal support is causing great harm to millions of Americans, as
well as our nation’s overall economy and security.
This is bad public
policy, and it will have a direct impact on the funds that support students and
research. The longer this goes on, the greater the damage will be."
