<Title>Update on Impact of Executive Orders on Research and Creative Achievement</Title>
<Tagline>Our response to a recent stop-work order</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <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 Given the nationwide injunction, UMBC has contacted the agency to confirm that the order is rescinded in light of the recent court action.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>

    <p>A six-person UMBC team built international connections at the “PIWOT – World of Technology” conference, held in late January in Mumbai, India. The conference is organized by the alumni association for graduates of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), and attracts many of the leaders in science and technology in India and around the world. The CEO of Alphabet, Inc. (Google’s parent company), the co-founder of Sun Microsystems, and the CEO of IBM are all graduates of IITs. </p>
    <p>UMBC was represented at the conference by Anupam Joshi, acting dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology; Upal Ghosh, professor in the Department of Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering; Ramana Vinjamuri, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and director of the <a href="http://nsfbrain.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NSF IUCRC BRAIN Center</a>; Govind Rao, director of the <a href="https://cast.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Center for Advanced Sensor Technology</a> and professor in the Department of Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering; Karuna Pande Joshi, professor in the Department of Information Systems and director of the <a href="http://carta.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NSF IUCRC Center for Accelerated Real Time Analytics</a>; and David Di Maria, senior international officer and associate vice provost for international education at UMBC. </p>

(Photo courtesy of Govind Rao)</em></p>
    <p>The UMBC team staffed a well-trafficked booth in the Expo Hall. As an extension of the meeting, they also visited IITs at Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Tirupati, and met with the directors of these institutions to discuss institutional agreements and lay the groundwork for international faculty and student exchanges. </p>
    <p>This year’s PIWOT conference focused on the impact of technology across multiple dimensions of life, from the professional to the personal. Dean Joshi took part as a speaker on a panel about the impact of technology on education. The UMBC booth also displayed the<a href="https://umbc.edu/stories/low-cost-infant-incubator-developed-at-umbc-completes-successful-clinical-trial-in-india/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> low-cost infant incubator</a> developed by Professor Govind Rao</p>
