University of California orders hiring freeze, cuts in response to Trump threats

As the Trump administration threatens to pull federal funds from universities, including those for medical and scientific research, the University of California has announced a hiring freeze and additional cuts.

The University of California has implemented a hiring freeze and paused construction projects due to a significant budget shortfall. This decision was influenced by a $20 million deficit in the current fiscal year, projected to grow to $58 million next year, primarily due to a state funding cut of $32 million. The university's Office of the President has directed all campuses to halt new hires, except for essential positions, and to delay non-essential construction projects. This financial strain is attributed to a combination of factors including a decline in state funding, increased costs, and lower-than-expected revenue from enrollment. The university is also considering other cost-saving measures like reducing travel expenses and discretionary spending to manage the financial crisis.
