Ich habe seit 2024 öffentlich gemeldete Maßnahmen im Hochschulbereich (Kürzungen, Entlassungen und Schließungen) in den USA verfolgt.
Am häufigsten kommt es zu Personalentlassungen (106), gefolgt von Programmaussetzungen (62). Kalifornien führt (20), aber die Aktivität verteilt sich auf viele Bundesstaaten. Das Jahr 2025 verzeichnete das höchste Volumen, und 2026 ist bereits schneller als erwartet.

[Data](https://college-cuts.com/cuts) compiled from public press releases, institutional announcements, and news reports.
The chart cards are built with:
* React, the frontend framework everything runs on
* Recharts, the charting library that renders the bar charts and area charts
* Tailwind CSS, handles the dark card styling, typography, and layout
* TanStack Query, fetches the live data from your API at render time
* Vite, the build tool that bundles it all
nice. the state figure is probably indexing „number of higher ed institutions“ but not sure of an easy fix for you there (you want basically a per capita equivalent for org density)
The 2008 and after births are the next wave of college students and I have bad news about their numbers.
I work in higher ed and while we haven’t had layoffs, we lost $70MM in research funding which drastically cut new research positions. We also took a flat budget cut (3%), have posted no net-new jobs and have basically collapsed middle management layers, limiting internal growth.
It’s rough out there. Nice visualization of the impact.
