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

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

How the Department of Education cuts could change federal support for schools

President Donald Trump’s administration’s recent decision to significantly reduce the U.S. Department of Education’s workforce has raised concerns about the potential impact on the stability and quality of American education.

This move aligns with Trump’s long-standing objective to dismantle the Department of Education, a goal shared by many conservatives who advocate for reduced federal involvement in education. Established in 1980, the department oversees various programs, including managing a $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio and enforcing civil rights laws in educational institutions.  Education Secretary Linda McMahon described the layoffs as

Faculty, students discuss effects of institutional neutrality on key issues

As universities navigate an increasingly polarized political landscape, many have adopted institutional neutrality policies, limiting official statements on social and political issues. Supporters say these policies preserve academic freedom and prevent institutions from endorsing particular viewpoints, while critics argue they suppress important discourse and leave students feeling unheard. The University of Michigan’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a new policy – institutional neutrality for university leaders – on Oct. 17, 2024. This decision aligns with a broader trend among higher education institutions to limit official commentary on contentious topics. Regent Mark Bernstein emphasized the policy aims to empower individual faculty
