Young scientists see career pathways vanish as schools adapt to federal funding cuts

Ah yes, of course the massively inflated admin salaries aren't on the chopping block at all, gotta gut the school instead.
one admin my partner and i have been immensely critical of is making $800k/yr. meanwhile he's ballooned tuition to "restore the endowment", increased undergrad enrollment, and cut funding to graduate students
Did you reply to the wrong article by accident? Because this one is about grant money for research.
No, right article. Grants, tuition, etc., all of it is used as justification for those inflated salaries.
Do people actually think that inflated salaries have absolutely nothing to do with the overall funding going through the University, including those grants?
To be a little more specific, schools take a cut (often called overhead) of awarded grant money to pay admin salaries among other things - sometimes in excess of 50%!
These rates have grown universally over time and the practice is obvs not popular amongst the actual researchers/PIs.
