[OC] 238 Higher Ed cuts, layoffs, and closures across 44 U.S. states (2024–2026 YTD)

I tracked publicly reported higher education actions (cuts, layoffs, and closures) across the U.S. since 2024. Staff layoffs are the most common (106), followed by program suspensions (62). California leads (20), but activity is spread across many states. 2025 saw the highest volume, and 2026 is already tracking ahead of pace. by CodOk8369
