Colleges sue to block federal plan to dismantle NCAR, the U.S.'s leading climate research center

A coalition of universities led by UCAR filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s plan to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), alleging a coordinated campaign against Colorado over political disputes. The suit accuses agencies of gag orders, cutting funding, and moving NCAR’s supercomputing facilities, arguing the actions violate the Administrative Procedure Act and threaten national security and the nation’s leadership in weather and space weather modeling and forecasting.

UCAR sues federal agencies over actions impacting NCAR operations

UCAR filed a federal lawsuit in the District of Colorado against NSF, NOAA, DOC, OMB and their directors, alleging constitutional violations and violations of the Administrative Procedure Act stemming from agency actions against NCAR/UCAR. The suit seeks to halt the actions, declare them unlawful, and obtain an injunction to protect NCAR/UCAR’s operations and mission, noting potential threats to national security, public safety, economic prosperity, and the U.S. lead in weather and space weather modeling. UCAR says it will not comment further while the litigation proceeds.

CISA Orders Federal Agencies to Replace End-of-Life Edge Networking Gear

CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-02 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to identify and decommission end-of-life edge devices (routers, firewalls, switches) that no longer receive updates. Agencies must inventory EOS devices within 3 months, decommission EOS gear within 12 months, and replace identified devices within 18 months with vendor-supported equipment, with continuous discovery inventories to be in place within 24 months. The mandate aims to reduce exposure to exploits targeting outdated edge devices; it applies to FCEB agencies, with encouragement for others to follow.
