University of Washington cuts costs in response to possible loss of state, federal funding under Trump admin

2025-03-13

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The University of Washington (UW) has announced a hiring freeze of non-essential staff and faculty as well as efforts to cut costs in response to the possibility of losing state and federal funding. UW is one of 60 universities under investigation by the Trump administration's DOE over antisemitism on campus.

Tricia Serio, UW provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, wrote in a blog post, ''Despite a good financial position, unprecedented and rapid policy changes at the federal level have increased the risk of funding cuts that threaten the University's financial stability.''

''At the state level, a significant budget shortfall is leading our legislature to grapple with a range of measures including budget cuts and furloughs, although the latter are particularly ill-suited to higher education because the cost of implementation minimizes the actual savings realized. Nonetheless, these risks together have the potential to jeopardize the full scope of our work, including existing and new research projects, patient care, instruction, and basic operations.''

Due to out-of-control spending, Washington state is facing a $6-15 billion dollar budget gap. Governor Bob Ferguson has proposed $4 billion in cuts, but Democrats

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
in the legislature are gearing up to offset the remainder with new taxes.

On Monday, UW found itself on a list from the US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of 60 institutions of higher education, including many Ivy League schools, that were sent letters warning them of potential enforcement actions if they do not fulfill their obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students on campus, including uninterrupted access to campus facilities and educational opportunities.
