It's because all or part of graduate student support comes from grants. Taking on new students when there may be no support would be irresponsible. It's not saving $$, it's dealing with realities.

Do you disagree with the math in the article? ‘The professor noted that many faculty members voiced concerns about … a “lack of proportionality between the relatively small percentage of the lost income versus the large 35% cut in [graduate] programs.”’

Not necessarily. It's speculation by faculty who have no knowledge of the university's budgeting.

Sounds like you're discouraging speculation by folks without direct knowledge of the university's budgeting.

Plus, in some fields graduate student birth control is long overdue. Universities keep promoting production of more, who wind up circling, looking for real jobs, for decades.

Having gone into administration after 30 years as faculty, I am familiar with both sides of this guesswork. And that's exactly what it is.
