Gavels & Gowns: An Education Law Podcast
Enforcement on Campus: The Impact of New Immigration Priorities on Academia
In this episode of Gavels & Gowns, an Education Law Podcast, host Micah Schwartz speaks with Tom Narvaez, an immigration attorney in our Labor, Employment & Immigration Section, to discuss how universities, colleges, and schools can prepare themselves to respond to federal immigration enforcement actions, manage the complications that international students are likely to face in the current climate, and common Form I-9 compliance issues.
Key Takeaways:
- Review your response plans for navigating enforcement actions on campus. Make sure your response teams are trained.
- Line up legal counsel to assist with drafting a response plan and procedures or the final review.
- Remind your international students to be aware of travel updates and consular operations when traveling abroad.
- Now is the time to be proactive and ensure you are maintaining Form I-9 compliance. Engage legal counsel to review your practices and conduct an internal audit if needed.
