White House Aims to Influence Campus Research Funding

NSF suspended $21M in grants to Berkeley for non-disclosure of foreign funding.
18 grants affected, including AI, plant genetics, and a Nobel Laureate's project.
Most affected projects involved U.S. allies, not security threats.
Markita Landry's $600K grant was suspended.
White House seeks ideological control via new rules on political appointees in grants.
