"As funders, we must act with urgency and courage commensurate with those we support. I felt we had fallen short."
"These fellowships allow recipients to pursue public interest work for two years, ensuring representation of diverse political views."
Kathleen Rubenstein has resigned from the Skadden Foundation, following the firm's $100 million settlement with Trump, which involved funding Skadden Fellows. These fellowships, likened to prestigious legal accolades, allow recipients to engage in public-interest work for two years, with the condition of representing diverse political views. Rubenstein, who began her career as a Skadden Fellow, expressed concern that the foundation's commitments lacked urgency and effectiveness amid the pressing challenges faced by public-interest advocates today.
