Trump's NIH Pick, Jay Bhattacharya, to Link Research Grants to Academic Freedom Rankings
Dec 6, 2024, 12:13 PM
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford professor, physician, and economist, has been chosen by President Donald Trump to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Bhattacharya is considering a plan to link the likelihood of universities receiving NIH research grants to their academic freedom rankings. This initiative aims to address concerns about 'cancel culture' in academia, potentially influencing how universities manage freedom of speech and academic expression. He has explored the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression's (FIRE) freedom-of-speech rankings as a possible metric for this assessment, although he has not yet decided on the exact method of measurement.
