Cornell Plagued by 11 Layoffs

Science foundation funding cuts in physics to blame

Even as the federal deficit grows, with President George W. Bush’s fiscal year 2009 budget proposal calling for an almost $250 billion increase in the deficit, cuts in basic research have begun to deplete many research institutions of resources.
