Provost Jean Morrison Weighs in on CHIPS and Science Act

BU Provost Jean Morrison (standing, left) joined Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) (standing, right), Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Rafael Reif, and other leaders of Bay State universities and research institutions, among them Harvard’s John Shaw and Brandeis’ Steven S. Karel (seated at left), and Cambridge Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui (right) at MIT August 10 to discuss the new CHIPS and Science Act. Signed into law on August 9, the act, which the White House says will strengthen American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security, and invest in research and development, science and technology, and the workforce of the future, sets ambitious funding targets for the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy Office of Science. Morrison discussed how the law will benefit BU students and scholars: more support for graduate students, a prohibition on sexual harassment in federally funded labs, and a national strategy for engineering biology among others.
