Bad news today. The administration finalized a plan to remove civil service protections from about 50,000 federal workers, with no exemption for statistical or scientific agency personnel. This erodes protection of those agencies from political influence.

Our public money to support research at our universities is mandated by our Congress. It is not the personal slush fund of the president, to withhold at will or dole out as largesse, rewarding those who please him. Those who seek reform of universities can use laws, not arbitrary extortion.
