7 hours agoI’m very worried. I just started my Master’s program, and after I’ll be finished in about 1-2 years, I plan to apply to PhD programs around the country. It’s already super competitive, and with the upcoming funding cuts, I might not even get accepted anywhere in the U.S.
Are you talking about campus police across all the universities? You aren’t wrong that they are terrible, but the amount of funding for campus police is not that much and nothing compared to what’s required for research.
My girlfriend used to work at a lab at a top university during her undergrad helping postdocs with their research for treating Alzheimer’s. What they do there is groundbreaking, but expensive. Postdocs don’t even get paid well; most of their funding goes directly into research. Cutting the funding does not help anyone at all.
