The center\u2019s dozens of federal employees, about a third of its work force, were also set to be placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The apparent gutting of the Wilson Center would be the latest attempt by the Trump administration to bring federally funded institutions that have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/18\/technology\/trump-ftc-fires-democrats.html\" title=\"\">historically been independent<\/a> under executive branch control, and in much diminished forms. Mr. Musk and his task force have helped lead efforts at slashing those institutions and various federal agencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One person familiar with Mr. Green\u2019s resignation said he had been offered a choice: Step down or be fired. Mr. Green, who has been a Wisconsin congressman, an ambassador to Tanzania and head of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/usaid-trump-doge-cuts.html\" title=\"\">now-defunct<\/a> U.S. Agency for International Development during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the March <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/03\/continuing-the-reduction-of-the-federal-bureaucracy\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">executive order<\/a> calling for the center to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/15\/us\/politics\/trump-order-voice-of-america.html\" title=\"\">be reduced<\/a> \u201cto the minimum presence and function required by law,\u201d Mr. Green wrote in an email to members that its leaders had viewed the order and were \u201ccrafting plans to comply.\u201d He did not say whether the center would push back against the executive order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ryan McKenna, a Wilson Center spokesman, said on Wednesday that the center had no comment on Mr. Green\u2019s resignation or DOGE\u2019s visits. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A Trump administration official said that Mr. Green had resigned voluntarily, and that Natasha Jacome, a senior adviser to Mr. Green, was the center\u2019s new president. The Wilson Center\u2019s president is ordinarily appointed by the board of trustees, but members of the board were fired in recent weeks. On Tuesday evening, the center\u2019s website <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wilsoncenter.org\/leadership\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said that<\/a> the board was \u201cvacant.\u201d The White House did not respond to questions about the board\u2019s current membership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump announced in January he was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113864692804149616\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">firing<\/a> one of his own appointees, Brian Hook, who served as a special envoy for Iran during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term before stepping down.

Biden Jr. appointed as chairman of the board in 2023, said in a LinkedIn post last month that he and Mr. Biden\u2019s other appointees had been fired by Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe had been asked to resign earlier in the week,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/joe-asher-742b516_i-was-surprised-by-the-number-of-reactions-activity-7294866505962246144-bldb?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAABtS5mYBXRqufZoOJBiWPt2P5NVRnsXlZc0\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote<\/a>, \u201cbut I didn\u2019t see the point of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He added that the board members had served without pay and praised the center, under Mr. Green\u2019s leadership, as \u201cfirst-rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his email, Mr. Green noted that Congress had given the center \u201ca special charter and mandate\u201d when it was created in 1968 as a memorial to Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president. Wilson won a Nobel Prize in 1919 for his role in founding the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations, in the wake of World War I.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Wilson Center describes it itself as \u201ccongressionally chartered, scholarship driven, and fiercely nonpartisan.\u201d While Wilson himself was a Democrat, the center does not align itself with a political party and has historically been run by members of both parties, and by a bipartisan board. It receives federal funding for its work but also solicits and accepts private donations to run a slate of fellowships and scholarships. Those go mostly to academic researchers, but some have gone to journalists working on book projects in residence, including reporters at The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fellowships and scholarships appeared to continue on Wednesday, but their long-term fate is unclear. Donors could decide to end their financial support, depending on the makeup of the new board and the direction of the center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The center is housed in the Ronald Reagan Building in downtown Washington. That building was also the site for the headquarters of U.S.A.I.D. until Mr. Musk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other aides to Mr. Trump dismantled that agency and ended its lease there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Congress made the Wilson Center to honor an American president, in a similar fashion as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Mr. Trump took over in February. After he gutted its board, Mr. Trump was elected as its chair. He has since <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/18\/arts\/music\/trump-kennedy-center.html\" title=\"\">shared<\/a> a vision to remake the cultural institution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Green\u2019s predecessor, Jane Harman, a Democrat who served as president of the Wilson Center for a decade until 2021, lamented on Tuesday the news of Mr. Green\u2019s resignation and the administration\u2019s decision to target the center, which she said has a global reputation of nonpartisan scholarship on foreign affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt has just extraordinary scholarship and extraordinary influence around the world,\u201d Ms. Harman said. \u201cIt\u2019s strictly nonpartisan. And the appeal for me \u2014 I left Congress early in my ninth term because I wanted to go to someplace that was a bipartisan problem solver focused on international issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p
