Please join APLU for a webinar on July 6, 3:30-4:30pm ET to discuss a response to the White House Office for Management and Budget’s (OMB) proposed rule on “Uniform Guidance.”
APLU has been working throughout the organization to develop its comment letter and retained Ropes & Gray to support us in this work. APLU wants to ensure that our response represents the views and concerns of member institutions to the maximum extent practicable. Please join us for a presentation on our analysis of the proposal and the association’s preliminary plans for a response. The association will welcome feedback from participants.Understandably, since the release of the proposal on May 29, many questions and concerns have emerged on implications to public and land-grant universities. The proposed rule would establish baseline requirements for federal programs governing how grant awards are issued, approved, managed, monitored, or canceled. Comments are due by Monday, July 13 at 11:59 pm EDT. OMB indicated it would like to issue a final rule that would put the proposal into effect at the beginning of the next fiscal year on October 1, 2026.
