Entire Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Quits In Protest Of Trump

Every single member of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board just walked out.

And it’s all because of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on the broken foreign student system that’s taken over America’s colleges and universities.

In a public letter released Wednesday, the board announced it had “voted overwhelmingly” to resign.

“Effective immediately, members of the Congressionally mandated Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board voted overwhelmingly to resign from the board, rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the law, compromise U.S. national interests and integrity, and undermine the mission and mandates Congress established for the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago,” the letter said.

The board claimed it had followed the law through both Democrat and Republican administrations.

“Under Democratic and Republican administrations alike, the Board has followed the law, operating with independence pursuant to its statutory mandate,” they wrote.

“Indeed, the Fulbright-Hays Act emphasizes the non-political and non-ideological character of the program,” the board continued.

However, they assert that the Trump administration has gone too far this time.

“However, the current administration has usurped the authority of the Board and denied Fulbright awards to a substantial number of individuals who were selected for the 2025–2026 academic year,” the board said.

“The administration is also currently subjecting an additional 1,200 foreign Fulbright recipients to an unauthorized review process and could reject more,” it said.

The board claimed the administration’s actions “not only contradict the statute but are antithetical to the Fulbright mission and the values, including free speech and academic freedom, that Congress specified in the statute.”

The board claims they have repeatedly raised these issues, only to have them ignored.

“We have raised these legal issues and our strong objections with senior administration officials on multiple occasions, including in writing,” the board said.

The letter ended with a plea to the other branches of government.
