California higher education layoffs: UC, Stanford and Cal State universities cut, freeze jobs
Briefly

Stanford University plans to lay off at least 363 employees as part of $140 million budget cuts, influenced by rising costs and reduced federal funding, including an increased endowment tax. Inflation and decreased federal support are cited as primary reasons for these layoffs, which span across various sectors. Other California universities, including the University of California and the University of Southern California, are also implementing layoffs and cost-cutting measures due to similar financial pressures tied to government funding reductions and budgetary shortfalls.
