AAU, along with other higher education organizations, joined a letter led by ACE to Speaker McCarthy and House Minority Leader Jeffries expressing strong opposition to H.R. 5525, the Continuing Appropriations and Border Security Enhancement Act for fiscal year (FY) 2024. The letter states “A CR is preferable to the disruption caused by a government shutdown, but a CR should be exactly what it is intended to be, the continuation of funding at current levels”.
