University of California sets hiring freeze in anticipation of Trump cuts

Hindustan Times  

By Jasper Ward University of California sets hiring freeze in anticipation of Trump cuts March 19 - The University of California has imposed a system-wide hiring freeze and made additional cuts, its president said on Wednesday, as part of efforts to try to mitigate the impact of sharp cuts in federal funding. The University of California operates one of the largest higher-education systems in the country, with 10 main campuses, six academic research centers and three national laboratories. Some of the proposed policy changes and executive orders issued by U.S. President Donald Trump since he returned to office in January threaten funding for lifesaving research, patient care, and education support. The university is the latest to announce a hiring freeze as the Trump administration threatens cuts to federal contracts and research grants.
