Understanding Policy Changes
While new policy changes may make quick headlines, the university is carefully reviewing all policies, regulations, and executive orders, in addition to pending legislation, for any potential impacts to the university. We are working in partnership with The Texas A&M University System Office of Governmental Relations and Office of General Counsel to understand the impacts of these decisions on the university and your work. Also, we work collaboratively with the Association of American Universities (AAU), the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), Council of Government Relations (COGR), American Council on Education (ACE) and other organizations to understand federal policy changes and advocate on behalf of our institution and higher education.
