Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.
This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Professors have "too much power" in Texas. Not sure whether to scream or laugh!
Hidden behind all the justifiable worry about the #txlege censoring history instruction is Abbott's demand that ALL faculty be removed from the faculty hiring process.
No more hiring committees. Professors would be appointed by HR, administrators, and regents.
