I have worked in and around academia for a couple of decades now, including one case of a university going through some major cuts and reorganization.

Yes, I was thinking something similar. They probably are cutting back because some of these offices are too expensive to manage. They dont bring in a clear profit to the university.

They are cutting back because of politics and Republicans outlawing or defunding them. Plain and simple political. culture war stuff Not saying whether they should exist or not, but the reason for the pull backs is well documented. As was the flood of offices opening post-2020.

Yes, of course. Its just a matter of time. But schools arent doing so well now, so it might take a while.

Schools follow the politics. They have to, because the money comes from the state (for public schools).

Right. So why did the private schools have them so quickly?
