Cornell University announces an immediate hiring pause across all positions due to financial uncertainties and potential federal funding cuts. A new position control process requires all hiring requests to be evaluated as mission-critical by deans and vice presidents, with final approval from a central committee reporting to the provost. The pause affects all employment types including staff, faculty, contractors, and temporary appointments.
