USC freezes hiring due to federal funding challenges

The University of Southern California has implemented a series of austerity measures, including a staff hiring freeze, in response to financial uncertainties stemming from federal funding challenges and ongoing investigations by the President Donald Trump administration. In a letter released Monday, university leaders, including outgoing President Carol Folt, cited “federal funding uncertainty” as a primary concern. Among the nine measures outlined are a reassessment of capital spending projects and restrictions on discretionary spending. The letter emphasized the need for “bold action now” to enhance financial resilience amid “exceptional financial uncertainty,” noting that USC received approximately $569 million in research funding

How closing the Department of Education could impact funding for students

President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to dismantle the Department of Education has elicited a significant concern among educators and students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and with disabilities. The initiative aims to decentralize educational oversight, transferring authority to individual states.  The Department of Education, established in 1979, administers federal funding programs such as Pell Grants for low-income college students and Title I funds for K-12 schools serving disadvantaged communities. It also enforces civil rights laws to ensure equitable access to education.  The act creating the department described its mission, in part, as: “To strengthen the Federal commitment to ensuring
