This is horrible news. This program is a huge success, identifies brilliant scholars and gives them a transitional landing place that can help them land a tenure track job in the system. It’s a win for students, their programs, and all the schools in the system. Why end it?

NEW: Federal food aid has lapsed for the first time in the program’s history.
And it’s not just SNAP, other federal programs that help low-income families put food on the table are also running out of funds as the government shutdown drags on.
