More than 1900 members of the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have signed an open letter condemning the policies introduced by Donald Trump.
The Trump administration is seeking to revoke the visas of foreign students, threatening to withdraw grants and demanding control over academic syllabi.
The administration is also opposing the use of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in universities.
US universities, including Ivy League schools, are facing funding and research grant cuts, potentially leading to a brain drain of talented individuals.
