Universities really need to pay attention to this. It's not just about the indirects and frozen funds. If these layoffs continue, which by all signs are continuing and going well beyond probationary employees, ***these agencies will not be functional, including NIH, CDC, and NSF*** - ThreadSky

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

The federal government is a major player in the space, and a massive employer. Not even beginning to consider the importance of the grants.

These layoffs are going to cascade something fierce.

they really do believe their own bullshit, because if I were clearheaded and trying to consolidate power, I would not leave myself unprepared to respond to basically any emergency

NSF is doing a 50% reduction in workforce. We were told that at an all-hands staff meeting two weeks ago. The firing of probies was just the start.

They are firing people that generate (long-term) revenue to save (short-term) costs. Genius.

And all the students who need their federal loans. They will do anything to Stop to education of our children. They don’t want spread the wealth. They don’t want our children competing against theirs.
