On behalf of the Association of American Universities and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, we write to express serious concerns about the potential impact of immigration reform legislation under consideration in the Senate, S. 1348. We believe that, if not amended or removed from the bill, a number of provisions, taken together, would force dramatic alterations in how America’s colleges and universities seek to attract teaching and research talent from abroad. As a result, the legislation would seriously weaken our ability to compete with institutions in other countries that are working harder all the time to retain their own talent and attract the best talent from others.
