I was collecting something similar as well but couldn't keep up. What I have is here docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
Miami University isn't on yours, we are cutting programs but not laying off any full-time faculty (to my knowledge).

FYI. Here in Pennsylvania we had a major overhaul of the public university system (PASSHE) over the last few years that is still ongoing.

thanks you SO much for pulling this together! Could we add a link to this at the bottom of our page keeping track of the UK cuts? Much solidarity; it's a lot, existing in this sector right now.

As a Birmingham-Southern alum, dispiriting only feels like the beginning. A direct and destructive attack on the very concept of education by our ascendant reactionary lordly class.

I’m not sure what the source for UT Austin was. And I don’t think we have an official number of layoffs (or volunteer departures from jobs that were then disappeared) before 1/1/24. Hartzell said 49 staff layoffs in April (effective 4/5). 8 asst and assoc deans back to FT teaching.

Here's info about my institution, CUNY, where we can't get copy machine toner. I hate it so much. Please add if you can, I am terrible at spreadsheets and would probably erase yours
