[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really nervous for my student starting college next year.  He wants to get his PhD in math so research is really important for him during his undergraduate years.  I worry about funding for research.[/quote]

You should be, all research money will be cut.[/quote]

If there isn't research in undergrad, it won't be necessary for grad school.  There was a time when undergrads weren't doing research at the level it's done now.  Grad programs aren't going to require the students to have something that wasn't available.[/quote]

What don’t you get about PhD programs being on the block, there likely won’t be graduate programs outside of professional schools.  If the proposed cuts go through, it will be a lot more than 5 schools “pausing” their PhD programs.  And let’s look at who has done it so far, Penn, Vandy, USC, Pitt and UNC.  Hardly lightweights.[/quote]

this.  UMich has frozen their social work PhD program. What does this mean?   They accepted a class for this Fall who have have all been told they will be able to complete the first year of the program but will be terminated after that.   [/quote]
