generally has to impose cuts
- Endowment value, external contributions
have reduced

Effect:

- Lower salary increases
- Less financial aid
- Staff Lay-off
- Postponement of faculty hiring and labs

Licensing & Patenting Office
- Entrepreneurship sabbatical(Stanford University)

Stanford Research Park
- Home to 140 companies
