[quote=Anonymous]Please note that “slashing” is an overly dramatic phrase used by OP, not in the articles. Also remember The Crimson is a student paper so will always be ultra hysterical. To that point, when the author talks about “75 percent cut!”, it’s deceptive because not that many numbers are actually involved. Dropping from eight to five or three PhD candidates in a department is hardly a crisis, especially when some departments (see article) are choosing not to cut any PhD candidates. And note the first article is about admin cuts. This Harvard needs to do. Harvard has relied for far too long on the federal dollar. It needs to cut staff - which the first article is about- and unnecessary PhD spending, which it could choose to fund out of its massive endowment but is opting to make this statement instead.[/quote]
