UNC Cuts Jobs, Pauses $218M Project in Response to Federal Funding Cuts

Jun 2, 2025

In response to uncertainties over federal funding, UNC-Chapel Hill has paused construction plans for a new research building on its campus.

Why it matters: The pause is the latest sign of how changing priorities within the federal government under the Trump administration affect the Triangle's universities — key players in the region's and state's economy.
