Helen Rueckert grew up in a small town in mid-Michigan and has always had a love for science. It wasn’t until she was selected to attend a special STEM high school for rural students, however, until she truly saw it as a career. From there, she earned a biochemistry degree at Temple University in Philadelphia and took a two-year hiatus from school to conduct research full-time. In the middle of the pandemic, she decided it was time for her to return to attain her PhD.

Federal cuts aren’t the only threat to the economic influence of North Carolina’s dozens of colleges and universities. Some grants are tied to international students, and would be lost if those students don’t return, or if new enrollees decide not to come to the U.S. for research that was already funded. What a “quadruple whammy” could mean for higher education in NC.

Duke University stands to lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually under proposed federal budget cuts. That’s according to public policy professor Don Taylor, who calls it a “quadruple whammy.”In a weekly newsletter he writes about public policy in higher education, Taylor estimates changes to federal research funding, Medicaid, Medicare, and the university endowment tax could add up to anywhere from $350-600 million in annual cuts to Duke University.

UNC-Chapel Hill’s Board of Trustees has approved tenure for select faculty after deferring to vote on the issue twice. The move comes after widespread criticism and concern from faculty at the public institution and other North Carolina universities. The trustees had been delaying the tenure vote since March, but only for faculty in professional schools and the College of Arts and Sciences.
