Dear Dr. Paré,
Thank you for your message regarding recent developments in federal funding and regulations. We appreciate the concerns you have raised about the potential impacts on research and teaching.
We want to assure you that we fully recognize the importance of engaging with faculty in addressing these developments. As mentioned in our previous communication, we are committed to keeping our universitywide shared governance bodies apprised of developments and seeking their partnership and input.
To that end, we have already discussed these issues with the Faculty Budget Advisory Committee and will do so with the Johns Hopkins University Council at a special meeting this afternoon. We will also engage the Staff Advisory Council and the Cross-Institutional Student Advisory Committee at their upcoming meetings this month.
We look forward to working closely with the universitywide governance bodies and the deans as we navigate these challenges together.
Sincerely,
Ray Jayawardhana
Provost
Professor of Physics and Astronomy
