Sequestration Effects on MSU’s Campus
|
Sequester has become a word that strikes fear into many Americans. The automatic spending cuts took effect in March when the federal government could not reach a deal on the debt ceiling. Half of the cuts affected national defense and half affected domestic programs, so everyone has had to tighten their belts.

From the Office of Financial Aid to the ROTC program, these stories break down what Spartan students and their parents can expect from sequestration.
