[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMichigan was on the list to be absolutely demolished as soft science NIH, NSF, DOE, DOL, HHS grants are being cancelled, and for the foreseeable future, not being renewed. UMichigan's operating budget is around $3 billion. There are reports circulating among its departments that it will lose between $400-600 million. [/quote] But this should stop the bleed, no?[/quote] No, DEI is just a part of Trump's assault, unfortunately. When NIH, NSF, etc. start reviewing grants again, UMichigan leads the country in obtaining "soft science" grants. Those are the ones the administration is going to cut the most, in favor of hard science grants. UMichigan is reliant those grants which will never materialize. Their graduate programs, even in Economics, are in red alert status right now. We are talking massive amount of layoffs and cuts. [/quote] Michigan is my DC's number 1 school. Their major is in a hard science, but their secondary interest is psychology. We've always thought the strength of UM's psych department was another plus in case DC changed their mind once taking those hard science classes. Their 2nd choice school is UGA for a psych major. DC had all but dismissed all other schools after visiting UM. Should we be rethinking? I hate the idea that DC worked hard to get a shot at their dream school, gets in and then we are watching all these attacks target said school.[/quote] Michigan will be fine. Relax. [/quote]
