Harvards budget deficit pushes 25% cut to non-tenure-track faculty in Arts and Sciences

Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences faces a $365 million deficit, prompting a 25% cut in non-tenure-track faculty budgets by the 2026-27 academic year. This reduction, implemented uniformly across divisions, will likely mean fewer course options and narrower subject coverage, particularly impacting smaller programs. The move sparks concerns about curriculum breadth and teaching diversity.
