AAU joined ACE, and 22 other higher education associations to file an amicus brief in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The brief supports the complaint filed by Purdue University, the University of Michigan, and Indiana University and 14 other plaintiffs against the Labor Department’s rule that would make it more difficult for high-skilled foreign workers with college degrees to acquire H-1B visas. In the brief, the associations highlight the harm the rule could cause colleges and universities, including increased administrative burden, and a chilling effect on the international exchange of ideas.
AAU also joined ACE, and 22 other higher education associations to file a second, similar amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The brief supports a complaint filed by Cornell University, Stanford University, the University of Rochester, the University of Southern California, the University of Utah, and several other organizations against the rules filed by the Labor Department and Department of Homeland Security.
