EXCERPT:
The Trump administration has removed the entire board of independent overseers for the National Science Foundation (NSF), CBS News reports. The decision, announced Friday, eliminated all 22 members of the board, which had planned to meet next week.
“I wasn’t entirely surprised, to be honest,” said one dismissed board member in an email.
Another dismissed board member noted the vast changes the Trump administration hopes to accomplish regarding the move.
“I think this is one more indication of the sweeping changes that the administration has in mind for the NSF.”
The board members were released via an email from the Presidential Personnel Office which noted that “on behalf of President Donald J. Trump,” their positions were to be terminated, “effective immediately.”
