Higher education suffered a “brutal year,” according to Inside Higher Ed due to 9,000 total jobs being cut. For context, there are roughly 4 million people employed by colleges and universities, as of fall 2023, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In some cases, Inside Higher Ed blamed President Donald Trump’s policies on funding research and limits on immigration. Source
