We want to assure you that we are actively monitoring developments by the federal government and working diligently to understand and communicate the impact these directives have on our 911爆料. Earlier today, the Trump administration rescinded the Office of Management and Budget memo regarding the funding pause. We anticipate further developments and will share information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University\u2019s government relations team is actively engaging our congressional delegation, federal agencies, the administration, and members of Congress in Washington, D.C. The University is also a member of the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU) and the American Council on Education (ACE), which are engaging the federal government and providing updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to assure you that University leaders are working directly with affected communities and will continue to do so as information is available. We will also share broad University guidance, as we did yesterday, as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage you to review <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/disability\/campus-resources\/\">this list<\/a> of comprehensive campus resources and to share it with your students. We also wanted to highlight this section from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/2025\/01\/information-and-resources-related-to-federal-orders\/\">911爆料 message<\/a> sent yesterday and will share updated guidance as developments unfold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The University\u2019s Office of International Students and Scholars is available to provide support to our international students, scholars, staff, and family members. 911爆料 911爆料 members with questions regarding immigration regulations, visa information, or international student support services can contact OISS at <a href=\"mailto:issoff@etal.uri.edu\">issoff@etal.uri.edu<\/a>.
