  Why are universities suffering?

    NSF funding cuts, declining enrollment bcz of the ICE crap (people are afraid to come to the U.S.), covid funding issues still being felt, lots of government employees vying for university positions, attacks on science across the board forcing experts to leave the U.S., or go to the private sector. Its bad, and it’ll probably get worse.

    I read they are rising taxes to Universities’ donations. In the political side, professors are… receiving too much attention from the government, to put it mildly.

    research grants, and funding grants are being cut. so scientists are fleeing the states, some of them.

        probably research scientists , and specalized MD specialties. probably depends on the universities or employers though. im just pulling ideas out of the air, could be biomedical, biopharmaceutical types, something that use “useful to the economy”

    I heard universities have been closing entire staff departments because of the DEI cuts. Business schools all over the country do DEI research with government grants. That money is gone now.
