The U.S. government is entering its third week of the federal shutdown as lawmakers continue to negotiate toward an agreement on federal spending for the new fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1.
As a result of financial planning by a Georgia Tech working group, Institute operations are not expected to be immediately affected by a federal shutdown.
All Georgia Tech employees submitting a spend authorization will be prompted to complete a travel compliance questionnaire as part of the submission process.
Georgia Tech has introduced two updates to its travel policies to enhance compliance, increase accountability, and ensure alignment with both state regulations and internal audit standards.
Leadership continues to monitor the situation and is ready to implement strategies to help ensure continuity in the event of a federal government shutdown.
