All schools will be doing this. Way too much bloat. Too many associate and assistant deans, as well as other non-essentials staff. In addition to having smaller pools of applicants in the coming years, kids are looking at other options including going to trade schools.

Those that take appropriate action now will be better prepared 5-10 years down the road when the population cliff his full swing.

I can assure you they aren't cutting associate deans or any admin. First dining services get affected, then the resource centers, and then visiting faculty. Likely, there won't be new tenure track lines opened.

They'll just shift acceptances to private boarding school and check parents educational levels/where they attended college.

Already part of the algorithm, and collected as part of the common app.

I'm aware. They'll just do more of it.

Sh*t

Schools seem like they have to become need aware during the Trump administration. Maybe they'll technically be need blind but use algorithms to make the class less dependent on financial aid. If Yale is liquidating assets, this can't be good for other schools.

Northwestern freezing hiring and cutting spending. Breaking news.

So troubling.

Moody's just came out to say that individual investors in PE funds is a risky thing. I know that's institutions, but Yale's endowment is PE heavy. Sounds like they are not giving the returns people always assume. Reading this article, it sounds like they sought 6 billion and are getting 3 billion, which is not just a haircut discount. I never thought this would the crash until the Moody's story but maybe PE was too overhyped. Now they're trying to offload investments to individuals.

Wow.

All prominent universities would be wise to hold large liquid sums right now, as federal funding for research dries up and the risk of costly lawsuits increases.
