Emory Professors, Students Express Concern Over Federal Government Shutdown
The Emory Wheel, an independent student-run newspaper of Emory University since 1919, reports on the concerns of Emory professors and students regarding the federal government shutdown.
Congress failed to pass a bill to fund the government for the 10th time, resulting in a shutdown on Oct. 1, due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats on a spending bill.
- Approximately 750,000 federal workers were on unpaid leave.
- Operations were stopped in many research centers, schools, and national parks.
- Airports nationwide reported staff shortages among air traffic controllers, who went unpaid during the shutdown.
A key funding dispute between Republicans and Democrats revolves around renewing enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, set to expire at the end of December, which
President Joe Biden helped expand, and were established by
U.S. President Barack Obama in 2010.
