Arizona State is on a de facto freeze (both American and IR/CP positions). There's word that freeze might be lifted sometime after Thanksgiving, but so far, no announcement.

Not sure about GA, but I think many departments are worried about what will happen if they dont' get somebody before the new year. State budgets are really bleak

Ok, I get the "temporary" hiring freeze, but what is the difference between a permanent freeze and simply canceling the search? Are there still searches under a permanent freeze? When the freeze "thaws" (maybe a few months or years down the line), will those particular hires be re-advertised, or are they all just gone for good?

If a department was authorized to conduct 2+ searches back in August, the dean may tell them now that they only get 1 hire due to budgetary restrictions, so choose which hire you want to make. That's not a hiring freeze, but it is a canceled search.

This is really a bad year for 4th year+ grad students. Very few jobs available in most disciplines, little money for dissertation fellowships, cutbacks in stipends, and it's tough to get additional loans.

Princeton recently announced some measures related to the slowing economy. There's no hiring freeze per se, but it sounds like the university intends to tighten up on hiring quite a bit next year. The details can be found at http://****.com/7xra4x . Most relevant quotes:
--"Searches for new faculty already authorized may continue, but any new requests to initiate or reopen searches will be reviewed by Dean of the Faculty David Dobkin."
--"Dobkin will work with academic units to minimize the number of visiting faculty and fellows who come to campus next year."
