    <div>Dear UMBC Community,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I write with an update regarding the impacts of federal orders and actions on UMBC’s research and creative achievement activities.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As you may be aware, on February 21, a Maryland District Court judge issued an order granting a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking parts of two federal executive orders concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (“Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” and “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity”). It is the position of UMBC’s general counsel that this injunction should prevent federal agencies from: stopping or modifying contracts and grants that directly or indirectly address DEI; requiring certification of non-violation of federal anti-discrimination laws for continued funding; or bringing enforcement action against grantees or contractors based on certifications of compliance with the executive orders for continued funding. The injunction is directly relevant to a situation that has developed recently at UMBC.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>One day before the injunction, we received a formal stop-work order from a federal agency concerning a research project that was to be halted in response to the executive order, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing." Given the nationwide injunction, UMBC has contacted the agency to confirm that the order is rescinded in light of the recent court action. As we await a response, the important work on this research project is continuing at UMBC. We are coordinating with the Office of the General Counsel and the Maryland Office of the Attorney General as we consider our legal position should further action become necessary. We remain in close contact with the principal investigator on the federal grant, as well as individuals and organizations who serve as subcontractors, keeping them informed as we move forward.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We also are in communication with colleagues across the University System of Maryland and with colleagues on the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities Council on Research to share information across the academic community.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>While we do not anticipate communicating with the campus community about every impact we see from federal executive orders and actions, we thought it would be helpful to share with you a sense of how we are responding and what protocols we are following in such circumstances.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please refer to my <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty/posts/147094" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">February 5 message</a> for more information and guidance on grant-funded programs, and please visit the university’s <a href="https://umbc.edu/ogrca/federal-changes/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">central hub of information</a> about recent federal orders and related actions for the latest updates.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sincerely,</div>
