The University President Willing to Fight Trump
This week, we interviewed two people with leading roles in the rapidly escalating conflict between the Trump administration and American higher education.
Today, we speak with the president of Princeton University, Christopher L. Eisgruber, about the institution’s path forward in the face of drastic funding cuts, and his vow to protect academic freedom at all costs.
You can find our conversation with Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who helped inspire Trump’s wide-ranging crackdown on higher education, here.
Guest: Christopher L. Eisgruber, the president of Princeton University.
Background reading:
- President Trump paused dozens of federal grants to Princeton.
- Mr. Trump’s orders threaten the financial foundations of higher education, but few universities have protested openly.
