| [THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] New York University (NYU) has imposed a hiring freeze and directed its subsidiary schools to prepare contingency plans in case it loses federal funding. According to NYU's student newspaper, the Washington Square News, on Wednesday the Trump administration announced it would investigate NYU over its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. On Monday, NYU President Linda Mills wrote in an email to faculty and staff, ''We don't yet know whether, when or to what extent these or other measures may be enacted,'' concerning changes to policy or programs in response to the cuts. She added, ''In the meantime, we continue to vigorously advocate for robust federal support of higher education. Given the scale of potential outcomes, however, we need to address risks sooner than later.'' Mills also warned faculty to expect lower salary increases than in recent years, and that the university is considering other methods of generating revenue to ''help offset likely losses.'' She concluded the letter by writing, ''Despite the fiscal challenges ahead, we are committed to preserving our core mission of teaching, learning, and research, and to supporting our community.'' Last week, the Department of Education announced that NYU and dozens of other universities across the US were being investigated for their diversity, equity, and inclusion programming and that any school that continued its DEI content was at risk of losing federal funding.

| #1 So University's getting $$$Million$ from the USA Taxpayers, to educate turn out the best future leaders of America. Openly supported DEI applicants based primarily on Color, Race and etc. over other students? Isn't that still called Discrimination? So, if a DEI student has less than the needed education needed to pass the entrance requirements. Then the University knew it was just taking $$$$$ from the Taxpayers, for students pre-deposed to fail and/or quit? OR did the UNIV plan on graduating some DEI students, unable to meet the requirements of the degree, and tarnish the reputation of the other UNIV students? |
