Emma Petit:

Alex Shieh thought the ask was simple enough: In so many words, justify your job. Last week, the Brown University sophomore emailed the more than 3,500 administrators and staff members who work for his institution, requesting that they explain “how Brown students would be impacted if your position was eliminated.”

More.

$93,064 tuition. 3,805 administrators on payroll. A $46 million structural budget deficit. Illegal DEI programs jeopardizing federal funding.

We emailed every administrator and asked them about their jobs. Instead of answering, someone from a Brown IP address hacked our site.

fIRE.
