The University of Colorado’s Federal Relations office has released updates regarding recent federal developments that may impact higher education. The latest communication highlights the end of the federal government shutdown and provides information on several related topics.

According to the update from November 14, the federal government has resumed operations after a temporary shutdown. The update also addresses changes in the U.S. Department of Education’s proposed revisions to IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System), notes consensus reached by the RISE Committee on student loan matters, and mentions that the Department of Energy has renewed funding for quantum research centers.

An earlier update from November 13 informed stakeholders about the reopening of federal government services following the resolution of the shutdown.

University officials encourage those interested in further details or ongoing developments to visit their CU System Federal Updates and Actions page for current communications and federal memos.
