Harvard Kennedy School lays off staff amid $53 billion endowment tax threat and federal funding cuts

Harvard Kennedy School has initiated staff layoffs and sweeping budget cuts in response to mounting financial strain caused by federal funding reductions and a proposed tax hike on Harvard's $53.2 billion endowment. The Trump administration's restrictions on international students and research funding cuts have intensified the crisis. Dean Jeremy M. Weinstein cited the need for restructuring and outlined contingency plans to address enrollment disruptions. The developments signal deeper financial instability across US higher education, as reported by the Harvard Crimson.
