RRC Meeting Summary -October 17, 2012
Fiscal Cliff: Fitz gave a presentation that he also did for the Board of Regents on the so-called "fiscal cliff," which refers to a substantial reduction in federal funding that is scheduled to go into effect after the first of the year. Several federal student programs and research funding will be reduced dramatically unless Congress and the President pass a law to stop or change the scheduled spending cuts.
