In some cases, that meant reneging on informal offers, according to Wendy Roth, a professor of sociology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her department had to decide which of the students would be \u201cunaccepted.\u201d Dr. Roth, chair of graduate education, was chosen to explain those decisions to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTwo of them, I would say, were extremely upset. One person was in tears,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s just the most terrible thing to get that kind of news when your plans are made.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since taking office, the Trump administration has issued orders that threaten to broadly undercut the financial foundation of university based research, including deep reductions in overhead cost reimbursements through the National Institutes of Health. Court challenges have paused some of the cuts, but universities are bracing for uncertainty. The University of Pennsylvania could face a $250 million hit in N.I.H. funding alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Members of the administration have cast the cuts as a way to reduce wasteful government spending, sometimes in political terms. Last month, Katie Miller, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/02\/27\/us\/politics\/doge-staff-list.html\" title=\"\">who is working with Elon Musk\u2019s team<\/a> to trim federal spending, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/health\/nih-research-funding-lawsuit-injunction.html\" title=\"\">said the cuts would end \u201cliberal D.E.I. deans\u2019 slush fund.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In some cases, schools are pre-emptively cutting their expenses as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">North Carolina State University announced on Feb. 14 that it was freezing most hiring. Stanford University announced on Feb. 26 that it was freezing staff hiring, citing \u201cvery significant risks\u201d to the community. At the University of Louisville in Kentucky, President Kim Schatzel announced an \u201cimmediate pause\u201d on faculty and staff hiring until July. She cited the potential loss of $20 to $23 million in N.I.H. research funding. Dozens of other schools have announced hiring freezes or \u201cchills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of the cuts are now hitting graduate education, too, which is highly dependent on research grants, leaving students who had dreams of pursuing Ph.D.s with nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A graduate program in biological sciences at the University of California, San Diego, usually enrolls 25 new graduate students a year. This year, the number will be 17.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The reduction may seem small, but Kimberly Cooper, a biology professor, said the Trump cuts would ricochet through the university.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI hate to sound fatalistic,\u201d said Dr. Cooper, who specializes in the study of limb development. \u201cBut at this point I think they\u2019re trying to break the academic enterprise. And cutting academic science has impacts on the educational mission of the entire university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At Penn, cuts to graduate programs were made across the board in the school\u2019s 32 programs, professors said. The history department, for example, was asked to offer Ph.D. slots to only seven students, not the usual 17. In English, the normal cohort of 9 to 12 incoming students will be reduced to a maximum of six.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A letter signed by professors in 22 departments at Penn warned that the school\u2019s decision would cause reputational damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Asked to comment, the university pointed to a statement signed by J. Larry Jameson, Penn\u2019s interim president, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/president.upenn.edu\/announcements\/2025-02-24\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">posted on the school\u2019s website<\/a>, which noted that the cuts \u201crepresent an existential threat across our university and American higher education.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Jameson said the school was pursuing \u201ccost containment measures and new sources of revenue.\u201d He added: \u201cWe will remain judicious, measured, deliberate and focused on sustaining our mission when determining any action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the Trump administration vows to target schools over antisemitism and diversity initiatives, other programs that directly touch undergraduates, such as scholarships, could be affected, too, if the administration clears legal hurdles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">David Kazanjian, graduate chair of comparative literature at Penn, said the cuts to graduate students would reduce opportunities for undergraduates. With fewer graduate student teachers, class sizes may increase, for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cost-cutting measures are taking effect across a variety of schools, from the Ivy League and large public research universities to smaller public schools. The administration\u2019s decision to cap overhead reimbursements on National Institutes of Health grants to 15 percent could cut millions that schools have come to rely on to cover facilities and staff. The overhead rates <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/02\/13\/upshot\/nih-trump-funding-cuts.html\" title=\"\">normally vary depending on the grant recipients<\/a>, but in some cases provide up to 60 percent of the grant in additional reimbursements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Columbia University, which receives about $1.3 billion a year in N.I.H. funding, could lose up to $200 million a year from the formula change, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/standcolumbia.org\/2025\/02\/08\/issue-028-federal-funding-cuts-shake-higher-education-and-could-cost-columbia-over-200-million\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">one analysis<\/a> by a group of university faculty and staff members and alumni called the Stand Columbia Society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A graduate-student union at Columbia <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaspectator.com\/news\/2025\/02\/05\/columbia-proposes-cutting-up-to-65-percent-of-2025-26-gsas-phd-cohort\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> in a news release last month that university officials had proposed even more draconian cuts than Penn: eliminating up to 65 percent of incoming Ph.D. students in the School of Arts &amp; Sciences. Following criticism, the cuts at Columbia were ultimately scaled back, and no firm numbers have been released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The graduate workers at Columbia argued that there was no need for funding cuts, citing the university\u2019s endowment, which grew to $14.9 billion at the close of 2024 from $13.6 billion in 2023. Yale, for example, one of the largest recipients of N.I.H. dollars, has announced that it would provide <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/yaledailynews.com\/blog\/2025\/02\/26\/yale-to-provide-funding-for-researchers-and-graduate-students-after-federal-research-funding-cuts\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">temporary funding<\/a> from its own coffers for scholars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But this week, the Education Department <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/04\/nyregion\/trump-columbia-antisemitism.html\" title=\"\">said it would review all of Columbia\u2019s federal contracts and grants<\/a>, accusing the school of not doing enough to curb antisemitism on campus. The administration identified $51.4 million in contracts between Columbia and the federal government that could be subject to stop-work orders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Schools with large endowments may also be a target of increased taxation. Endowments, generally accumulated with donor funds invested over decades, had largely been considered off limits for taxes because the universities operate as nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But in 2017, during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/11\/04\/us\/college-endowments-tax.html\" title=\"\">Republicans led a charge<\/a> to impose a 1.4 percent excise tax on the investment income of large private university endowments. Now there are discussions of raising it to 14 percent, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/nehls.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/rep-troy-e-nehls-introduces-bill-hold-elite-university-endowments-accountable\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">or even 21 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The threatened N.I.H. cuts and the endowment tax comes on the heels of other major cutbacks at public land grant universities. Among the Trump administration\u2019s first targets was a U.S. Agency for International Development program called \u201cFeed the Future,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/us\/trump-executive-orders-universities.html\" title=\"\">which funded 19 agricultural labs in 17 states<\/a>. Many of those laboratories are now being shut down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At U.C. San Diego, which was already facing state budget cuts, Dr. Cooper, the biology professor, said the fallout would have repercussions beyond universities if fewer students passed through their programs, and could affect entire sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe bigger issue in all this is that, this is our future biomedical work force,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
