Thanks for your continued efforts to share information. Getting weary from the waiting. Having new info from you, even if not exactly positive, has been helpful.

Taking this as supporting evidence of my theory that the tariffs are simply to do to the private sector what he’s already done to the public sector and higher ed by withholding federal funds.

Thank you for your continued updates! They have provided hope as we try to remain optimistic for an AC rescheduling.

For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.
