Pamela Randall, senior staff advisor for the Collaborating Districts Initiative at CASEL,…

Congressional appropriators aren’t planning to go along with Trump’s huge proposed NSF cut. Federal lawmakers crafting appropriations legislation for this fiscal year have released plans that largely reject President Trump’s huge proposed cuts to the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Energy Department.

But that has not stymied outrage about his selection.
