Dr. Susan Monarez, the CDC director, is being unexpectedly removed from her position. This comes after a shooting at the Atlanta campus on August 8th, which killed a police officer and deeply impacted already low staff morale due to recent budget cuts. The agency is now without a leader during a challenging time. The Department of Health and Human Services hasn't yet commented on the situation.
