The university has had to cut $140 million from its general funds budget this year, a move largely attributed to Trump administration policies, including the increase of the university's endowment tax from 1.

Stanford University said on Tuesday it has laid off over 360 employees, citing budget constraints that it attributed to the federal funding policies of U.S. President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has threatened to cut federal funds for universities over pro-Palestinian protests against U.

According to an Employment Development Department filing from the university, the layoffs cover 363 jobs, including project managers, researchers, scientists, lecturers, student services officers, software developers and writers.
