"For lack of a clear and precise understanding of exactly what these motives are, I refer to them as the 'arrogance of power'—as a psychological need that nations seem to have to prove that they are bigger, better, or stronger than other nations."

"The more I puzzle over the great wars of history, the more I am inclined to the view that the causes attributed to them—territory, markets, resources, the defense or perpetuation of great principles—were not the root causes at all, but rather explanations or excuses for certain unfathomable drives of human nature."

"The bipartisan #Fulbright Board was mandated by Congress to be a check on the executive and to ensure that students, researchers and educators are not subjected to the blatant political favoritism that this Administration is known for," Sen.

~Entire Fulbright board quits, blaming Trump admin interference~
~”The #Trump admin unlawfully ‘usurped the (board’s) authority’ by denying awards (because of research topics the admin didn’t like) to a ‘substantial number’ who had already been selected for the 2025-2026 academic year through a yearlong, merit-based process.”
The State Dept. could also reject 1,200 #Fulbright more recipients through an "unauthorized review process.”

CW: U.S. Politics, Fulbright Board Quits
"The Fulbright Scholarship board resigned due to political interference from the Trump administration. The State Department, led by Marco Rubio, is canceling scholarships for nearly 200 American professors and researchers based on their research topics, which include climate change, gender, and race."--David Ho

The actions come as #Trump & his top aides seek to bend #academic institutions to their #ideological beliefs. The #State Dept’s public *diplomacy* office is run by #DarrenBeattie, a political appointee who was fired from a job during the first Trump admin after he gave a talk at a #WhiteNationalist conference. He has made social media posts on white grievances, including one saying “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”…

The memo written by the board says that members are resigning “rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the #law, compromise #US national interests & #integrity, & undermine the mission & mandates #Congress established for the #Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago,” according to a copy obtained by The Times.

Another blow to U.S. #research : the Trump administration is now rejecting any #Fulbright applications that smell of #DEI or #climate science -- based only on bureaucrats' Ctrl+F searches. How can an #international exchange program *not* be rooted in a DEI ethos? Damned if I know. The whole point is to gain understanding of societies and environments that are different from your own. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/global/us-colleges-world/2025/05/29/fulbright-applicants-rejected-over-dei-research-proposals

The draft order also calls for narrowing #Fulbright scholarships so that they are given only to students doing master’s-level studies in #NationalSecurity matters.
And it says #State will end its contract w/ #HowardUniversity, a historically #Black institution [#HBCU], to recruit candidates for the #Rangel & #Pickering fellowships, which are to be terminated. Those fellowships help students from underrepresented groups get a chance at entering the Foreign Service soon after graduation.

The Trump administration is looking to cut the State Department’s budget by almost half,
and educational and cultural exchange programs, like the #Fulbright #scholarship, could be fully eliminated as a result.
An internal memo, obtained by the Post, suggested that the department may only have $28.4 billion to spend next fiscal year -- to cover all of its staffing and operations
and to share with the U.S. Agency for International Development, an independent agency that Trump has already tried to eliminate.
That’s $27 billion, or 48 percent, less funding than the two groups received in fiscal year 2025.
🆘 The proposed budget cuts would terminate the Fulbright scholarship, a highly selective cultural exchange program established by Congress in 1946 -- along with the State Department’s other educational and cultural programs.
The president has yet to propose his budget for fiscal year 2026 to Congress -- though he’s expected to do so later this month, the Post reported.
Congress, by law, has the final say about which programs get funding.

August Muller is a Fulbright research fellow in the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” department, working with Dr. Elisa Maggio.
She investigates how the upcoming @LISA gravitational-wave observatory can be used to test general relativity. LISA will see the first gravitational-wave signals from merging supermassive black holes, including the ringdown phase of the signal which is produced after the two black holes have already merged. Her research investigates how this ringdown signal may differ if the two black holes merge into an exotic object rather than a black hole in general relativity, in order to determine how well LISA will be able to distinguish these post-merger objects.
