Harvard University slashes PhD admissions: Here’s how it’s impacting graduate research
Harvard University will sharply reduce Ph.D. admissions over the next two years amid a $113 million budget deficit and rising endowment taxes. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences faces cuts of up to 75% in sciences and 60% in arts and humanities. Experts warn the move could weaken research output, disrupt teaching, and limit future academic talent.
