Report from Scholars at Risk counts some 40 attacks against academic freedom in the US in the first half of 2025

“We are witnessing an unprecedented situation – really as far as I can tell in history – where a global leader of education and research is voluntarily dismantling that which gave it an advantage,” said Robert Quinn, executive director of Scholars at Risk (SAR).
