À propos de cet audio

 Good afternoon, Huskies! Here's what's happening at the University of Washington as of Monday, September 22, 2025. Washington state faces potential losses exceeding $1 billion in research funding due to proposed federal budget cuts. In 2024, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation granted $1.4 billion to research facilities in Washington, ranking it ninth in funding per capita across the U.S. The University of Washington School of Medicine alone could face an estimated $90 million loss in a year, threatening its prominent research programs. These cuts could significantly impact critical projects, including those at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. In response to financial uncertainties stemming from federal and state budget cuts, the University of Washington has instituted a hiring freeze for all non-essential staff and faculty positions. This measure aims to reduce costs amid ongoing funding challenges. On May 6, 2025, approximately 30 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested after occupying the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building, demanding the university sever ties with Boeing due to its support of the Israeli Defense Forces. The U.S. Department of Education has since launched an investigation into the incident, citing concerns about campus safety and potential antisemitic harassment. The University of Washington School of Law received a $45 million gift from the estate of Stan and Alta Barer for its international leadership program, marking the largest single donation to a law school in 2024. This program funds master's degrees for lawyers from developing countries and will enhance the work of the Barer Institute for Leadership in Law & Global Development. In men's soccer, the Washington Huskies secured a decisive 7-2 victory over the Seattle University Redhawks on September 8, 2025, in the annual Fewing Cup match. This win continues the Huskies' dominance in the series, now leading with 50 wins to Seattle U's 9. That's all for today's update. Stay informed and engaged, Huskies!
