AFT Higher Education Immigration Townhall: Navigating Changes in US Immigration Policy and Its Impact on our Campuses and Communities

Join us for an informative town hall where experts will discuss the latest changes in U.S. immigration policies and how we can best defend faculty and staff at colleges and universities. As immigration policies evolve rapidly, it is crucial for campus communities to stay informed about their impact on hiring, retention, and support for international faculty, staff, and students.

During this session, expert speakers will cover:

  • Key updates to U.S. immigration policies, including deportation measures and federal immigration presence on college campuses.
  • The impact of policy changes on faculty, staff, and student recruitment and retention.
  • Strategies for local unions to support members navigating new regulations.
  • Best practices for faculty and staff to assist immigrant and international students and colleagues.
  • Resources and support systems available to academic workers and students facing immigration challenges.

Whether you’re a scholar, staff member, student, or part of the campus community, this town hall will provide valuable insights on how to best support your students and colleagues during this uncertain time.
