    > On Nov. 10, Colla wrote to current math graduate students that “status and support” for current students “are not changing” and that the program will see “every currently enrolled student through graduation,” according to an email obtained and reviewed by The Dartmouth.

    > “Stipends, insurance and the five-year funding guarantee all remain in place for students making satisfactory academic progress,” Colla wrote. “Advising relationships, qualifying exams, degree requirements and teaching and research appointments will continue as planned.”

    "The field is changing; rather than be a force for change or try to help steward folks through the change, we'll be sitting this one out. Good luck out there kids."

    Whoever makes these decisions should get admitted to the drama school!

      Indeed, they also just discounted every PhD currently in progress in their program by demonstrating academic nonchalance and potentially even past ones. Let’s shut it down and cash our tenure’s worth out.

    Also FTFA:

    """ Beilock announced at the meeting that the College is “working to reduce Dartmouth’s spending by $50 million,” in order to increase faculty and staff salaries “especially if and when inflation continues to rise,” according to a transcript of her speech published on the Office of the President’s website. """

    Uh huh. Increase staff salaries. That'll fix things.

      Did inflation stop for the teachers too, or just for you?
