The hiring pause at one of the nation’s wealthiest schools comes after other schools have also announced efforts to save money.

Harvard University says it is freezing hiring for now, citing changes brought on by the Trump administration.

We need to prepare for a wide range of financial circumstances,” Harvard president Alan Garber and other university leaders said.

Harvard University announced a "significant expansion of financial aid" on Monday to make tuition free for more students, even as the Ivy League institution said recently it is facing revenue concerns under the Trump administration.

Harvard announced on Monday that undergraduate tuition will be free for students of families who make annual incomes of $200,000 or less in a move to make the prestigious institution "affordable to more students than ever.

Harvard University is making tuition free for families who earn less than $200,000 (£154,000) a year, the school announced. For families earning less than $100,000, Harvard will also cover expenses like housing and health insurance.
