Cliff Ando discusses the impact of recent federal funding freezes on research universities, emphasizing that while scientific and medical fields face the largest cuts, the humanities will also suffer significantly. He suggests that universities must explore new revenue models to secure funding and support essential research. Ando, a Classics professor at the University of Chicago, highlights the necessity of adapting to maintain the integrity and depth of advanced scholarly work, essential for comprehensive academic inquiry across all fields.
"Federal funding freezes pose significant risks not only to the breadth of scientific and medical research but also to the humanities, potentially undermining advanced studies and scholarly inquiry across multiple disciplines."
"Our universities must rethink revenue models in order to adapt to these changes, ensuring that crucial research, particularly in liberal arts, can continue to thrive despite financial constraints."
