Harvard, the University of Washington, and the University of Pittsburgh are among institutions announcing hiring freezes, driven by uncertainty regarding federal funding cuts. Leaders express concern that reduced resources could adversely affect current students and staff, and even local economies. Experts warn that these changes jeopardize American competitiveness in science and research, leading to fewer job offers and Ph.D. admissions. Presidents are emphasizing financial prudence while awaiting clarity on federal policies, prompting careful evaluation of expenses and commitments across universities.
