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, leading to a shutdown on Oct. 1, as Republicans and Democrats were unable to compromise on a spending bill prior to the end of the fiscal year.
- About 750,000 federal workers were on unpaid leave a week after the shutdown began.
- Operations were stopped in many research centers, schools, and national parks.
- Airports nationwide reported staff shortages among air traffic controllers, who go unpaid during government shutdowns.
A main 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.
