Original: The Guardian: Decades of fossil fuel influence paved way for Trump’s assault on university research, study says https://
A new study, reported by The Guardian, argues that decades of fossil fuel industry funding and influence at American universities helped pave the way for the Trump administration's current assault on university research, particularly climate science. The findings suggest corporate money shaped academic priorities and left institutions vulnerable to political attacks.
Why now: The study offers a new explanation connecting industry funding of universities to current US government attacks on academic research, resonating amid ongoing climate and science policy debates.
