Government Shutdown Affects UI Students
The current federal government shutdown has significant implications for some University of Iowa students.
The shutdown resulted from a budget impasse between Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate, which failed to pass a federal budget for the new fiscal year.
- Lawmakers are divided over government spending levels on certain programs, such as health care and foreign aid.
- Many agencies are left without approved funding.
Students like Elsa Juarez, a third-year UI student and single mother of two, are impacted by the shutdown.
The shutdown is affecting her ability to cover basic living costs.
Juarez relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
