…because of financial concerns related to the loss of NIH funding. This will happen elsewhere before too long I suspect, especially at schools that get a lot of NIH dollars. Many of these schools have law schools as well. In light of this, I think those with offers in hand should inquire about whether there is a risk to the offer being rescinded, and perhaps consider accepting sooner rather than later. Funding models of law schools differ, so law schools at universities that receive large amounts of NIH money may still be able to follow through on their appointments.
