U. Illinois-Chicago Faculty Protest Federal Grants Cuts
Do these people ever work?
Do any of these people actually work? Sheesh.
Faculty from the University of Illinois Chicago held a rally Wednesday against federal cuts and freezes.
Those that participated said if proposed cuts and freezes go through with regard to federal grants, not only will faculty and staff jobs be on the line, but student opportunities and vital programs that impact Chicago will be on the chopping block.
Those working and doing research at UIC say they depend on funding from multiple agencies within the Department of Health and Human services to train the next generation of clinicians.
They’re researching topics that include life-saving treatments for cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and how AI can be incorporated into health. They say the money that funds these projects could soon run out.
The rally was part of a national one, with similar protests taking place in Boston, Atlanta and St Louis.

Boo f’g who. Learn how the real world operates.
My daughter is a Quality Control Manager at a pharmaceutical company in Boston. A program that they were working with Boston University Medical was put into a suspended animation due to funding being shut off. This happened 2 days after her yearly bonus paid out.
