A 15% cap on indirect/overhead costs (plus the demographic cliff) may be the end of the modern research university. But I suppose that was the point.

do i roll my eyes at a lot of DEI stuff? yeah, i wrote a whole essay about why i thought it was bullshit back in 2020. but trump et al aren’t saying, “corporate DEI policies mainly exist to protect corporate interests from discrimination lawsuits.” they’re saying “get the blacks out”
