In response to this initial funding freeze, University Provost Katherine Baicker ordered faculty researchers to pause non-personnel spending. This was expanded nationwide after another lawsuit that UChicago was a part of under the Association of American Medical Colleges. The NSF had placed a similar 15 percent cap on indirect funding, placing 300 grants awarded to UChicago researchers, worth $14.5 million, at risk. At UChicago, where annual graduate tuition regularly exceeds $60,000, this change will leave many students with substantial funding gaps. The scrutiny of the University has not been limited to its academic sphere: UChicago Medicine (UCMed) has also faced pressure from the federal government.
