[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, the University of California, *not* all of academia.[/quote]

Stanford University, MIT, Northwestern University, Cornell University, University of Notre Dame, Emory University, University of Washington, and North Carolina State University are among other institutions that have announced either full or partial hiring freezes. You should expect more to follow suit.

Anyone who knows anything about academe knows that this has been going on since the pandemic when enrollment continued its trend of falling off the cliff.  A college education has become too expensive and the cost benefit analysis is not always in the favor of throwing yourself into debt for 10 years.[/quote]

The science community disagrees with you.

Currents cuts to research at eu precedented. The withholding of allocated USAID money/ NIH/ CDC and Dept Energy funding have caused many planned  health and STEM research projects to be cancelled or paused.

DC is post doc at leading STEM academic research center and all the post docs are worried about finding work now.

Also enrollment has not been dropping off at top colleges but they are impacted by the research cuts as well. [/quote]

You reference post doctoral students in STEM and top colleges.   I was referring to the generic college education that does not lead to a doctorate, much less a post doc or to a top college.    [/quote]
