Brown U. Cutting Jobs and Open Positions After Student Exposes Administrative Bloat
“will lay off 48 positions and cut 55 unfilled budgeted positions”
This young man had to endure a lot after his project, but it paid off in the long run.
The FOX Business Network reports:
Brown to cut 48 jobs, scrap 55 open positions following federal pressure, student’s exposé of Ivy League bloat
Brown University will slash 48 jobs and eliminate 55 openings following federal pressure and a student’s exposé of Ivy League bloat.
“The layoffs at Brown prove that the message of Bloat@Brown has been true all along: many of these administrators were unnecessary in the first place,” Alex Shieh, a former student at Brown University, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
On Monday, Brown announced that it will lay off 48 positions and cut 55 unfilled budgeted positions, which the school said “will no longer be pursued following the end of Brown’s hiring freeze.”
Shieh, a former student at Brown who was cleared of wrongdoing by the university in May, had previously angered officials by sending a DOGE-like email to non-faculty employees identifying himself as a journalist for The Brown Spectator and asking them what they do all day to try to determine why the school’s tuition has gotten so expensive.
The Brown Spectator, a right-leaning publication which has a board of three people, including Shieh, was revived this year after it ceased publication in 2014.
The board members faced a disciplinary hearing on May 7 over allegations that they violated Brown University’s name, licensing and trademark policies.
Shieh and the Spectator came under scrutiny after he reviewed 3,805 non-faculty employees at Brown and emailed them asking, “What do you do all day?” in an effort to identify redundant positions.

Student activism for maga finally pays off!!
Good guy doing good work. He has a future if the cabal doesn’t destroy him.
I wonder what the monetary savings amounts to. Knowing what some of these outfits pay administrators, it could easily top $1mil (not to mention the savings in benefits). But 103 out of 3800 isn’t a very big bite. If you let Mr. Shieh got through the roster the number would most likely be significantly more….
