[quote=Anonymous][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.

My DC is in at a mid-sized private schools with a decent merit aid package that is for 4 years assuming DC keeps up the grades.  Would those be in danger?[/quote]

I would check with school.  It's a form of financial aid so I would guess that if a school, for budgetary reasons, decided to cut back on it or rescind they could.  Though, I would hope that would be a last resort.  They might for example decrease aid from newer classes.  But I suppose they could also raise tuition which would have the same effect as a reduction in merit.[/quote]
