Internet2 is closely monitoring the recent Executive Orders addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs in federal and private sectors. We are waiting for further guidance from the White House and our federal partners. Out of an abundance of caution, we have paused activities related to I2I and the I2I Scholarship. We will keep you informed of any further changes or updates as we learn more.
