  As a result, when well-resourced STEM departments fall, they take humanities down with them. And when graduate programs downsize, universities lose the PhD students that keep research and undergraduate education afloat. And without grad student labor, the whole academic system crumbles.

The article from Vox discusses the impact of funding cuts on PhD programs, particularly focusing on the case of Columbia University. It highlights how the Trump administration's proposed budget cuts to education could exacerbate the already precarious situation for PhD students. At Columbia, these cuts have led to reduced stipends, increased teaching loads, and diminished support for research. The piece also touches on the broader implications for academia, where the lack of funding not only affects current students but also deters potential PhD candidates due to the financial instability and job market uncertainties. The article argues that these cuts could lead to a decline in the quality of research and education, potentially stifling innovation and intellectual growth in the U.S.
