Update: Federal Government Shutdown Averted for Now
October 6, 2023
In an 11th-hour move last Saturday, Congress passed legislation temporarily funding federal government operations through November 17. As a result, federal government operations will continue at least until then without much change.
Why It Matters: In the short term, nothing changes for us at the University of Alaska since government operations are still funded. Even, so University leadership will be keeping a close eye on developments in Washington.
- As November 17 approaches, we鈥檒l keep the University Community updated on whether or not a future shutdown is likely, and what its impacts could be for 绿奴天花板.
- For now, though, it鈥檚 business as usual.
