Several media outlets are reporting that federal employees, including some agencies that the university works with closely, have been receiving notice of layoffs. This development could have impacts on UW-Madison’s ability to communicate with federal agencies, propose new research and carry out existing projects.
The Office of Federal Relations is continuing to monitor these and other developments and the potential impact on UW-Madison operations. Campus community members are encouraged to reach out to University Relations, the centralized point of contact for resources and information related to emerging federal updates.
