This week, we interviewed two people with leading roles in the
rapidly escalating conflict between the Trump administration and
American higher education.

Today, we speak with the president of Princeton University,
Christopher L. Eisgruber, about the institution’s path forward in
the face of drastic funding cuts, and his vow to protect academic
freedom at all costs.

You can find our conversation with Christopher Rufo, a
conservative activist who helped inspire Trump’s wide-ranging
crackdown on higher education, here.

Guest: Christopher L. Eisgruber, the president of Princeton
University.

Background reading:

President Trump paused dozens of federal grants to Princeton.

Mr. Trump’s orders threaten the financial foundations of
higher education, but few universities have protested openly.
