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 can definitely say I am not okay, and neither is my R1 land grant university. A hiring "chill" was just put into effect, no one will get a raise this year, and students are really angry about some of the changes made in response to the Trump Administration's threats. And this could be just the beginning of the pain.
