Is this something unique to the University of Chicago? Like, financial pressures solely created by poor planning or decision-making? Our daughter is just beginning a master's program (not at UC), so hearing about collapsing liberal arts programs, even at elite institutions, is unnerving.
No, it’s Trump! It’s directly related to elimination and reduction of federal research grants
I know the University of Oregon is also firing/laying off people too…
It's really worrisome, especially when you consider people now discounting the value of a bachelor's degree alone. What are people doing to propel themselves in their careers, if not getting bachelor's and then master's and then Ph.D degrees?
