Mass Gov. Healey: Trump's cuts are 'bad for science'

Trump is "is giving away intellectual assets," Gov. Maura Healey said during an appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation" program.

In an article published on April 15, 2025, by MassLive, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey criticized former President Donald Trump's proposed funding cuts and attacks on Harvard University, arguing that they are detrimental to scientific progress.
