“Disgraced former officials should not be offered cushy fellowships to rehabilitate their image,” a spokesperson for advocacy group Restore Public Trust said.
More than 40 immigration, civil rights and government accountability organizations called for colleges and universities to refuse to hire Trump administration officials involved in separating migrant parents and children.
The letter names both past and present Trump administration officials, including former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who were involved in crafting or defending Trump's immigration policies. The press release from Restore Public Trust also said that the organizations had run ads in campus newspapers, including The Harvard Crimson and The Stanford Daily. The ads reportedly featured an image of a red hat, which resembled those bearing Trump's MAGA slogan, containing white text reading “put kids in cages.”
University decisions to offer positions to former Trump administration officials, such as Harvard's hiring of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski as visiting fellows, and the University of Virginia's hiring of Trump aide Marc Short, have previously prompted public backlash. Two professors resigned to protest the appointment of Short, and a petition to prevent his appointment received more than 4,300 signatures.
