The New Haven Register reports that Alexandra Daum, Yale's associate vice president for New Haven affairs and university properties, discussed the pause this week with area business leaders.
"We're riding out a bad period," Daum said at a Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Daum said that the university's leadership is not scared or afraid of a fight with the federal government. But the reality is that the Yale could lose a sixth to tenth of its federal funding.
As a result, Daum said the university will continue to complete work on projects already under construction, because it's more costly to stop work in progress than finish it. But 10 other projects that are in the planning stages will be paused for now.
