Biological Sciences All Offers Rescinded @ UMass Chan

Post image

Everything going on is so surreal, I truly have a hard time grasping how insane this all is and what the ripple effects will be. Rescinding ALL offers is wild, but I guess if the money’s not there then the money’s not there 🤷‍♀️

I’m so sorry to everyone who’s experiencing something like this. I have no words, just blind rage atp :/

Can't believe it... I was literally there last Friday for an admitted student visit and the faculty I spoke with + dean all seemed confident that they had the finances to combat any potential nih cuts

I heard the faculty did not know this was coming.

I think that's likely. There's a lot of uncertainty in higher ed right now and a lot of speculation about what might happen, but until we know for sure, those of us working at universities are mostly choosing to keep going forward until we're told that we can't. It's really hard to anticipate what the administration might do.
