NASA Suspends STEM programs!

[Levansic]

The article I linked to had the full memo, and an update to some specific guidance. It doesn't appear that any FIRST involvement was specifically exempted, although the one mentioned cutoff date of April 30 for waivers may have been to avoid explicit mention for exemption.

I know that there are many NASA people here, who may have more information than what was leaked. My team is a NASA home team, and we are extremely grateful for the support that has been provided to us by NASA. I also know that many people from NASA attend regionals as part of their outreach mission. My reading of the memo and the specific guidance memo, is that this support is now pulled for the remainder of FY 2013.
