I would push back on the authors' assertion that these are "unintended consequences." Confusion, chaos, headaches, and misery for the federal workforce are intended consequences here.

I think it is a misstep for university leaders to keep framing these cuts in terms of what they will cost the university. Rather, what will this cost the public?

Albeit billionaires do not think the USA will lose science. They think they are mining inefficiencies in the university system and believe they are poised to recruit smart people into their own enterprises, where they will be more efficient and profitable than ever before.
Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.
