Rick Scott Urges Trump Admin to Cut off University of Michigan’s Federal Funds

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., on Sunday urged the Trump administration to cut off federal funding to the University of Michigan after a professor appeared to praise anti‑Israel student activists who illegally set up a campus encampment following Oct. 7, 2023.

“It’s unacceptable for any university professor to praise chaos that glorified America’s enemies, justified violence, and terrorized Jewish students,” Scott wrote Saturday on X. “If this is what Americans are paying for, it’s time to cut them off COMPLETELY.”

Scott’s remarks followed comments by University of Michigan professor Derek Peterson during the school’s spring 2026........
