NSF funding cutoffs. Arxiv isn't privately funded.

  "Together, Cornell University, the Simons Foundation, members, affiliates, sponsors, foundations, and individual donors contribute to arXiv's operating budget." https://info.arxiv.org/about/funding.html https://info.arxiv.org/about/funding.html

    To be fair, Cornell is public. Edit: my mistake. I’ve always heard it referred to as a “state school” which is true given its land grant status and SUNY affiliation, but it is private.

      To be fair, the original article (or posts?) makes no effort to assert why he thinks arXiv is in any risk for its continued existence. It's unlikely that Cornell will go away, nor the site they own.

      From https://www.cornell.edu/about/ https://www.cornell.edu/about/: "Cornell is a privately endowed research university and a partner of the State University of New York."

      Cornell University has seven colleges, three of which are public, and four of which are private. I'm an alum, but it's been a while, but my recollection is: Engineering, Arts and Science, Architecture, Hotel Administration are private, while: Industrial & Labor Relations, Agriculture and Life Sciences, Human Ecology accept public funding. That info might be ~20 years out of date though.

    From their most recent annual report, at https://info.arxiv.org/about/reports/2023_arXiv_annual_report.pdf https://info.arxiv.org/about/reports/2023_arXiv_annual_repor... "In 2023, arXiv received a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant 2311521 | “Frameworks: arXiv as an accessible open access research platform”). Distributed over five years (performance conclusion: 2028) this grant’s goal is to create a more discoverable and accessible arXiv to advance scientific innovation." That's $1 million/year. Total revenue in 2023 was $2,690,592.
