    This is a big deal. It might even create more opportunities to attract global talent for higher education programs.

    I haven't read the Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act but it sounds like the INFORMS skill set will be a major part. It should be great for prospective STEM students.

    The bill itself is quite short, so only a few minutes to read in its entirety. OR is mentioned prominently, and the bill is remarkably free of political causes. Basically $10 million/year to NSF for 5 years.
