The board of the Fulbright program has resigned after accusing Trump aides of political interference.

All12 board members resigned today because of what they said was political interference by the Trump administration in their operations.

Political appointees at the State Department, which manages the program, are acting illegally by canceling the awarding of Fulbright scholarships to almost 200 American professors and researchers who are prepared to go to universities and other research institutions overseas starting this summer.
