[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse works at a top private college with a large endowment.  They are just waiting to see what the next fed budget looks like to start making cuts.  Expect some of the following:

--Cancellation/"Pauses" of all Phd programs
-- Getting rid entirely of less popular departments that can be deemed non-essential to the mission.  I think any ethnicity or women's studies likely on the chopping block, but also some humanities departments with low enrollment
--End of anything DEI
--End of merit aid
--End of any non-essential spending on student services

Again this is a well funded school, so expect the same or worse elsewhere.

Adding that one of my family members is a trustee at another private discussed frequently on this board.  Less research oriented, but also smaller endowment.  I don't know details, but was told they are now having significant budget concerns due to Trump's proposed cuts.

I expect this is good news for full pay students but even so, there is going to be less on offer everywhere.  I don't know how public schools are going to deal, but I would avoid state schools where the state is not well funded.[/quote]
