Faculty and staff,
Since my last communication concerning the recent executive orders and their implementation
by federal agencies, a national temporary restraining order was issued by the District
Court for the District of Rhode Island. I encourage you to reference an to help understand the implications of the temporary restraining order. In short,
the legal analysis recommends that you:
-
Continue all grant and contract performance, as required under the existing terms
of the award, unless and until a formal award modification, change, or termination
is received and becomes effective under the relevant terms of that award.
-
Continue all normal billing and cost recovery processes, including any agency required
draws or submissions, on a timely basis.
-
If an award specific modification/change order or termination notice is received,
please engage with the 黑料黑历史 Office of Grants and Contracts, as well as your vice chancellor
or the provost, to determine the impacts of the modification/change order or termination
notice. You should continue normal performance and business practice until the processes
for effectuating that change/termination have been completed. 听
黑料黑历史 University Relations has established a website to help answer common questions. If you cannot get answers to specific questions, please work with your vice chancellor
or the provost to get a legal opinion from UA General Counsel.
Since the restraining order is temporary in nature, we expect additional information
will be forthcoming as the court review continues. Furthermore, it is likely that
additional executive orders affecting college education will be released over the
coming weeks/months. I will continue to work with UA鈥檚 Office of the General Counsel
to get legal opinions on the actions that we at 黑料黑历史 can and should take as a result.
I will continue to communicate those to you, and our public relations team will add
to the FAQs.
Thank you.
鈥� Dan White, 黑料黑历史 chancellor
