POLICY WATCH – February 2025

s I write this Policy Watch, I believe many of you share NBLC’s focus on understanding the dynamics of the new administration in Washington, the evolving power structure, and how to navigate this shifting landscape. While numerous headlines generate significant attention, I am finding that judicial interventions often temper their immediate impact. We continue to monitor all impacts of new federal policies as they align with our workplan and remain prepared to speak out against particularly concerning developments. In this issue, we look at one of those concerning developments; how funding cuts in research could impact the Bay Area, and at the State level how cuts to the Cal State system could jeopardize our ability to recruit and retain a local workforce. We also take a look at why now, more than ever, it is crucial for employers to create a culture of safety and inclusivity in the workplace.
