WSBTV Reports- Citing the “many directives, policy changes and legislative proposals from the federal government” in recent weeks, Emory University announced a hiring freeze and limits to faculty hiring, as well as a freeze on changes to compensation.
Emory University President Gregory L. Fenves sent a letter to the Emory community Wednesday morning detailing the situation.
According to Fenves’ letter, the current policy directives and legislative proposals in Washington “have serious implications for Emory,” and that while there is “still tremendous uncertainty,” the institution will be taking measures to prepare for what it says could be big disruptions to their finances.
Fenves said there will be significant reductions in operating expenditures, saying a possible increase in the federal tax on university endowments could present an impact on budgeting.
