200 college leaders decry Trump's "undue government intrusion" in education

About 200 university presidents and chancellors signed onto a Tuesday letter denouncing the Trump administration's "coercive use of public research funding."

Why it matters: Dissent to President Trump's higher education threats is slowly growing.

What they're saying: "We speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education," the university leaders said in their letter.
