Wild how quickly things can change on campus! #Education #College #XavierUniversity00Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowHow Fed Cash Shapes Campus HiringTurns out, those strict diversity hiring rules at universities? They’re not just campus trends—they’re bankrolled by federal grants. Schools like Case Western and UC Irvine have been using NSF money to enforce diversity checkpoints, even pausing job searches if the applicant pool isn’t diverse enough. Deans and diversity officers now have major power over who gets hired, all thanks to millions in federal funding. Wild how much influence those grants have, right? #Education #College #HigherEd00Share

Experts say with less federal funding and new loan rules, schools might keep passing costs to students. If you’re planning college soon, brace yourself—higher bills and fewer staff could be the new normal. #Education #College #CollegeCosts00Share
