UW submits opposition to proposed changes to Uniform Guidance
The University of Washington has submitted a formal letter expressing concerns and opposition to the White House Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) proposed changes to the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance (also known as the Uniform Guidance). The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities has summarized the proposed changes. We appreciate the many responses from the UW community that helped shape our formal comment.
