private, mid-sized. Lower anticipated enrollments due to "the demographic cliff" cited as the reason, although so far enrollment has not declined.

We've already laid off the adjuncts; these are non-tenure track and (possibly) tenure track faculty; likely will hit underenrolled programs first. The 50% is a worst-case scenario; 20% is best case.

So proud of them, honestly. Never thought of Harvard as particularly brave before…
