  <title><![CDATA[Federal Government Shutdown]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. government is entering its sixth week of the federal shutdown as lawmakers continue to work toward an agreement on federal spending for the new fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1. The impasse has necessitated mitigation strategies, regardless of funding source, across the entirety of Georgia Tech to help preserve cash, maintain campus operations, and fulfill our academic and research mission.</p><p>Georgia Tech leadership, with guidance from the Institute’s Federal Shutdown working group, continues to closely monitor daily cash balances and plan for the possibility of additional mitigation measures if the shutdown continues through the fall semester.</p><p>The <a href="https://af.gatech.edu/federal-shutdown">Federal Shutdown Resources webpage</a> provides communications and resources to assist the campus community in navigating the federal shutdown. Updates will be made as the situation continues to develop.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
