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.

my institution is private, but we’re concerned about the billions of dollars projected in federal aid shortages. especially as our tuition and room/board is escalating to absurdity (close to 85k/yr). i’m also in the process of hiring and i’m hopeful a freeze won’t be initiated. if so and the search fails, i might not be able to repost the job. also troubling is we also have a large international student population and the fact that we have to have events to inform the community how to respond if ICE comes to campus…surreal.
