[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To state it simply, all universities and research institutions will be negatively impacted by this anti-science approach.

Nobody benefits from a world view that values dogma over discovery. [/quote]

I absolutely agree, of course. This is 100% destructive and terrible.

Maybe because we feels so powerless at the moment, we’re trying to figure out if there’s anything we can or should “do” to reframe our DC’s college research process re 2026.

At the moment, DC is looking at a mix of public flagships and mid-sized privates. Should we be looking at the schools’ financials - endowments, dependence on federal funding etc - to try to identify those that may weather the storm better than others? Or is that like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? [/quote]

Absolutely.  Forbes has a list of the financial ratings of each college.  Cross reference that with NSF, NIH, and other departments.  For example, NIH is here:

Each school will list their total federal funding through research, through all modalities.  Some competitive grants, others non-competitive.

This is an earthquake followed by a Tsunami.

If we want to have a shot at a return to normalcy, we need the Senate and House out of Trump's control as soon as possible. The 2026 mid-terms will be critical to have Dems win. But Trump, Musk, Vance and Bannon will do so much damage to our children's education before then. Look how active they've been in just days/weeks.

Also, it doesn't matter if you are a lifelong GOP or Dem, if you voted for Trump or not, everyone must organize fast and work together now against Trump's crew to save this country for our kids. Otherwise, we are launching our kids into a permanent dystopia.[/quote]
