Federal shutdown may hurt research
A government shutdown looks more and more likely, as Democrats and Republicans still can't agree on a budget to fund it.
Thousands of non-essential federal employees would be furloughed, and certain government operations would close. University officials say that if a shutdown happens, few parts of the University would be directly affected.
"There are two main areas where the federal government is involved in the University: financial aid and research," said Jack Martin, deputy director of
University Communications.
In both cases, applications that have already gone through for financial aid and research grants would continue. But any new or current applications wouldn't be processed until the shutdown was over.
"I think the consensus in Washington is that any shutdown would be fairly short-term," Martin said.
Other government operations that would be shut down include passport applications and tax refund checks, which wouldn't be processed until the shutdown ended.
