All well and good to resist.. but we need alt funding should it happen. We have LSTA grants that fund some of our core databases.. if that goes.. fuck all if I have to instruct student on how to do proper research with Google. Assuming I am still employed.
I would like to see Musk or someone come to my work and claim abuse/waste/fraud... etc. and try to slash our budget. Been balanced through the recession of 2008 and the Covid 2020.. its not like 4 yr publics in debt..
But then again.. Trump thinks everyone should turn a profit to benefit him so...
I suspect an academic institution that views itself as representing the economically advantage, consider the Trump administration like family members at holiday dinners. Same social caste. Nothing to lose but integrity. Which can be bought again.
University of California is no small liberal arts or community college, it is a behemoth, a network of excellent universities serving the entire state of California and 300,000 UNDERGRAD students, saying nothing of the grads, post-docs, all the employees
Yes... my point was Trump is going after all these big name, well endowed, 4 yr unis. They appear to be struggling with how to deal.
My work has had a balanced budget for 15 yrs I have been there, but the cuts and rulings are real. We rely heavily on FA/grants/"DEI" scholarships and support
