Universidades de Estados Unidos acusan a Trump de amenazar la autonomía de la educación superior

Más de 100 universidades estadounidenses, incluida Harvard, firmaron una carta conjunta denunciando la injerencia política del gobierno de Trump y el uso coercitivo de fondos públicos como medida de presión.

Under Atkins, the SEC has dropped legal proceedings against major cryptocurrency platforms like Coinbase and Kraken that were initiated during former president Joe Biden's term. Biden's administration had implemented restrictions on banks holding cryptocurrencies -- which have since been lifted -- and allowed former SEC chairman Gary Gensler to pursue aggressive enforcement.

Washington, Estados Unidos. Más de 100 universidades y otras instituciones educativas estadounidenses condenaron el martes la “interferencia política” del presidente Donald Trump en el sistema educativo, en una carta conjunta.

El hecho se produce un día después de que la universidad de Harvard demandara a la administración Trump, que ha amenazado a esa institución con recortarle financiación e imponerle una supervisión política externa.
