Four Maine college presidents sign national letter decrying Trump education 'overreach'Riley Board, Portland Press Herald, Maine Tue, April 22, 2025"Four Maine higher education leaders have signed on to a letter accusing the Trump administration of 'unprecedented government overreach and political interference.'"Safa Zaki of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BowdoinCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BowdoinCollege</a>, Garry Jenkins of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BatesCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BatesCollege</a>, David Greene of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColbyCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColbyCollege</a> and James Herbert of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversityOfNewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniversityOfNewEngland</a> all added their names to the letter, published Tuesday by the American Association of Colleges and Universities. More than 230 presidents of colleges, universities and scholarly societies throughout the country have signed so far."

'However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.'"Though the letter primarily represents private institutions, leaders from a handful of state colleges and universities signed on, including University of Massachusetts Amherst Chancellor Javier Reyes and Eastern Connecticut State University President Karim Ismaili. A spokesperson for the University of Maine system declined to comment."In recent months, the Trump administration has pulled or threatened to pull federal funding from higher education institutions that don't comply with his agenda on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StudentProtesters</a>, admissions practices and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransgenderAthlete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransgenderAthlete</a> policies."The administration has also revoked the visas of hundreds of international students.
