Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds

Princeton University is implementing a new round of cost cuts, citing pressure from the Trump administration’s funding reductions in higher education as well as economic concerns.

University departments will soon roll out measures such as “less free food and merchandise” and reduced operating hours at some campus operations, Princeton said in a statement Thursday. The school, one of the wealthiest in the US, is also scrapping sessions during the last two weeks of winter break that offered workshops and activities to students and staff.
