Updates on 2025 Federal Executive Orders and Directives
With numerous, quickly evolving federal policy shifts, UC Merced is working closely with our partners at the University of California Office of the President to monitor these developments and seek clarity on a range of issues. In the meantime, we remain committed to our UC values as stated in our Principles of Community, and we will continue to pursue UC’s mission of teaching, research and public service in the most effective ways we can. We recognize this uncertainty has caused concern across the UC community, and we will continue to share updates and resources as they become available.
