Professor Andrade also gave this testimony on May 9 before the committee:
...we are advising people to take fewer graduate students, because we need to be able to support them at a level where they can live. I've done external reviews for departments where the graduate students generally like the program but are struggling in these ways. We advise that they sometimes halve the number of graduate students they take in, which is going to have very negative effects upstream on the knowledge economy.
