Universities have been warning lawmakers about the harmful effects of across-the-board federal budget cuts called sequestration since they were first proposed in 2011. The Budget Control Act, which will cut nearly $1 trillion in discretionary spending over 10 years, went into effect on March 1. Now the Association of American Universities, the Association of Public & Land-grant Universities, and the Science Coalition have surveyed their members to quantify how sequestration has affected university science so far.
