Ugh the fact that second year grad student can no longer apply to the nsf-gfrp is so devastating to my students. They purposely didn't apply last year. They could have announced that they would enforce the change next year to allow for some heads up and buffer. Just ridiculous.

OK, Harvard 👏, "No government- regardless of which party is in power-should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president.Hint at my alma mater @columbiauniversity.bsky.social 👀
