another Trump/Musk (illegal) move that will affect UIowa

Announced today: NIH is implementing a 15% cap on the administrative costs usually shaved off grants to cover "indirect costs" effective Monday, including on active grants, not just future ones. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/02/new-nih-policy-will-slash-support-money-to-research-universities/ UIowa gets a huge amount of funding from these kinds of grants (correct me if I'm wrong but NIH grants at UIowa I think are usually 60% indirect costs)...

If Congress does not fight this (it is illegal), this could mean catastrophic cuts to UIowa funding, and as we know this is company town. The question is: Who bears the brunt of those cuts?

Does administration take pay cuts themselves? shave maybe 6.9 million off Kirk Ferentz's salary? dip into the endowment? OR do they raise tuition, lower wages, cut departments and research units??
