As President Levin and Provost Martinez communicated a few weeks ago, changes in the higher education landscape have significantly impacted universities nationwide. In sight of these changes and ongoing uncertainty about how federal support for universities will evolve, Stanford is significantly reducing the amount of general funds it provides to support operations in the upcoming fiscal year. Consequently, many campus departments - including DAPER - are implementing budget cutbacks; and we are facing the difficult reality that those budget cutbacks require a reduction in staff positions.
There is no easy way to work through the painful process of professionally parting ways. In an effort to limit the duration of that process, we will be communicating with all of the individuals who are impacted by these reductions within the next 48 hours. We will follow up when all the notifications have been completed.
Thanks for providing that. What was the date?
not the date for the above but there is this from Levin and Martinez on July 31, 2025

Budget and staffing update
Dear faculty and staff,
As we wrote last month, the university is making a $140 million reduction in the general funds budget for the upcoming year. This is the product of a challenging fiscal environment shaped in large part by federal policy changes affecting higher education.
Over the last few days, many schools and units at Stanford have made staff reductions. The university is providing support resources as well as layoff benefits to eligible employees. Nonetheless, these are difficult actions that affect valued colleagues and friends who have made important contributions to Stanford.
We also know that many of you will need to make adjustments going forward as a result of budget cuts. Thank you for your hard work, for your support of your colleagues, and for all of your efforts to support our vital ongoing mission of research and education.
Sincerely,
Jon Levin, President
Jenny Martinez, Provost
and here's part of the layoff policy
