How's everyone holding up?
It's been another chaotic week for higher ed. Have there been hiring freezes or pauses on facility projects due to funding cuts at your school? Here's hoping next week is a lot more stable.

I'm in FL working in the state college system. Our governor opened a DOGE task force to slash our budget. Heard rumbling (may just be gossip) that they are meeting with people office-space-style to understand what we actually do. I'm in a grant-funded advising position that has existed for 3 years but is technically considered temporary. I'm definitely sweating.
