Regulatory and Policy Updates (Member Only)

NAFSA is hosting a member only town hall to provide an update on the Curricular Practical Training lawsuit in response to the two broadcast messages issues by SEVP. Join NAFSA staff to learn more about this litigation as well as the proposed rule for Optional Practical Training fees.  

On October 5, NAFSA along with the Association of American Universities (AAU), Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, and the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (AICUM) filed a lawsuit against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice  in response to two broadcast messages the agency sent in August, which suddenly – and without explanation – drastically changed a position that the federal government had endorsed for more than 35 years regarding Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for international students.  

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, asks the court to stop the government’s actions before they cause further harm to students, universities, their communities, and the country.

This webinar is a member benefit and will not be recorded to allow for open discussions.
