The Republican president cancelled billions of dollars in research money for universities as he pushes for a more conservative ideology in higher education.

Shauna Johnson, WVU’s executive director of strategic communications, said the cancelled research projects had been supported by a mix of state, foundation and federal grants. kAm“('& :D 2? #` F?:G6CD:EJ H96C6 BF2=:EJ 65F42E:@? 2?5 E96 4FEE:?8 6586 8@ 92?5\:?\92?5] qF586E C65F4E:@?D :?
