Colorado NCAR partners sue to halt bid to dismantle Boulder lab
TL;DR Summary
Colorado’s National Center for Atmospheric Research consortium (UCAR) filed a federal lawsuit against the National Science Foundation and the Trump administration, alleging political retribution aimed at dismantling NCAR by divesting its operations, gagging officials, and privatizing weather and space-weather functions. The suit seeks to stop the dismantling, restore contracts, lift gag orders, and end onerous reporting requirements, arguing the actions threaten NCAR’s mission and Boulder-based jobs (about 1,400 people).
