Dear colleagues,
William & Mary is closely monitoring and reviewing new executive actions and memoranda following the recent change in federal administration, particularly those related to federally funded research. University leadership is working with the Office of Government and External Affairs and the Office of Sponsored Programs to evaluate these new actions and their potential impact on the university.
We know many of you are currently involved in grant-dependent projects and are seeking guidance on the best path forward. We will be working with you and your departments to determine the potential impact, being mindful that federal guidelines will continue to evolve in the coming weeks. For questions about engaging with federal, state, and local officials, please refer to this published guidance.
We recognize how challenging the current uncertainty is, and we thank you for your patience and ongoing commitment to your students, your colleagues, and your work. Please be assured that William & Mary remains steadfast in our mission of teaching, learning, and research. We are actively collaborating with peer institutions across Virginia and the nation to identify next steps in this evolving situation.
Sincerely,
Peggy Agouris
Provost
Mike Todd
