It’s due to fewer positions mentioned in the link though right?

MIT would always have more applicants than positions. The only thing that would drop total numbers of students should be fewer positions.

Which of course is just as much of an issue since it highlights a blatant attack on education in general.

I assume it is due to less federal support in the form of research grants that support PhD students, labs, etc.
