California’s higher education could be hit hard by Trump’s move. Rep. Darrell Issa, Republican of California, said he was unaware that the funding cancellation was imminent. He said he had recently met with a number of university representatives who were deeply concerned about the future of funding. “Over the past two days, representatives from almost every university and every research institute have come to me to express their concerns,” Issa said.
