As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

This. Lately I’ve had scenes from Wild Swans and the opening chapters of Three Body Problem stuck in my head. Just watch the first 10 minutes of Three Body Problem — it’ll set the mood.

The DOGE purge is not just about the lives and livelihoods of civil servants—though of course it IS that too.
It’s about gutting crucial services for communities across the country.

It's time to start a thread on higher ed budget cuts announced due to actual and potential cuts to federal funding. Northwestern is placing additional scrutiny on all spending and trying to cut non-personnel spending by 10% this year.
