Navigating the New Landscape: Executive Orders and Their Impact on Higher Education

Recent executive orders have introduced significant changes that directly affect colleges and universities, creating complex challenges across various institutional functions. This critical webinar will provide higher education leaders, administrators, and legal counsel with essential insights into the latest executive actions and their multifaceted implications.

We will delve into the profound impact on a number of areas, including:

• International Students: Understanding new visa restrictions, evolving immigration policies, and travel bans that could disrupt enrollment, student mobility, and the academic experience for the international student population. We'll discuss strategies for supporting affected students and ensuring compliance.
• Travel Bans: Analyzing the scope and practical effects of current travel bans on faculty, researchers, and students, including potential disruptions to academic collaborations, conferences, and study abroad programs. Learn how to mitigate risks and develop proactive contingency plans.
• Collegiate Athletics: Examining how executive orders may influence existing regulations concerning Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) for student-athletes, potential federal oversight of athletic programs, and the recruitment and eligibility of international student-athletes.

Our experienced legal team will provide a comprehensive overview of the executive orders, discuss potential legal challenges and interpretations, and offer practical guidance to help your institution navigate these evolving requirements. Join us to ensure your institution remains compliant and resilient in this dynamic regulatory environment.
