Quote:
Over time FHI faced increasing administrative headwinds within the
Faculty of Philosophy (the Institute’s organizational home). Starting
in 2020, the Faculty imposed a freeze on fundraising and hiring. In
late 2023, the Faculty of Philosophy decided that the contracts of the
remaining FHI staff would not be renewed. On 16 April 2024, the
Institute was closed down.
