to be clear re: UMich & MSU, i’m hearing from faculty and students there that it’s in the works but yet to be announced. also seems the Big 10 are working on something together
Gallaudet University: "we will mobilize our international, legal, and academic teams" idk what that means in terms of legal action yet but I love that they report the message in ASL (h/t @TavierM)

I'll continue updating as more announcements come in. For those whose fingers get tired scrolling through a thread, someone made a spreadsheet listing these institutions👇

William & Mary: "Yesterday, William & Mary joined universities throughout the U.S. in urging the administration to change this new rule". (h/t @dhsecor)

wm.edu/news/announcem…
NYU spox: "planning to file an amicus brief in support of litigation against the rules" (h/t @Elvadire)
nyu.edu/about/news-pub…
Will continue to update but pausing briefly for now - these zoom meetings wont be painfully awkward on their own.

Please continue to tag me in new announcements/DM
Arizona State University is looking into it
University of Michigan @UMich officially joins in (via @michigandaily):

"We’re going to join other Universities in suing to block this arbitrary ICE guidance, which serves no legitimate governmental purpose and penalizes our international students.."

College of Wooster:
"These students deserve to have the college experience they have worked so hard for. We will continue to do all we can to fight for national policies that support our international students"
Bates College joins in (h/t @abhiprofen).

Interestingly, it appears they will be participating in an an amicus filed by @ACEducation.

ACE represents 1,700 colleges, universities, and higher education associations

Boston University pulled up (h/t @arnaoutleen). Official announcement likely forthcoming.

U of Minnesota (h/t @WakeDukeChem)

Also confirms rumor I mentioned earlier that several Big 10 schools are joining in

"Minnesota is one of a growing number of universities nationwide, including many of its Big Ten peers, that are filing amicus briefs.."

twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/un…
Swarthmore College came through (h/t themselves (@swarthmore))

Gettysburg College @gettysburg (h/t @trumpet_kenny)

"signing an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit brought by Harvard and MIT that seeks to challenge this policy. The policy serves no apparent compelling purpose.."

gettysburg.edu/offices/presid…
if you're an American reading this, i hope you're voting and telling everyone around you to vote. elections matter, votes count. this misery and chaos inflicted on students/faculty/and legal teams at universities is needlessly cruel and never should have happened.
Notre Dame (@NotreDame) joins and says it straightforwardly:

"While the University of Notre Dame is not immediately affected by your proposed policy...I am concerned about our government’s inhospitable, even hostile approach toward visiting students"

Mount Holyoke College @mtholyoke (h/t @pkrishnamoor)

"I am reaching out to the MA Attorney General, encouraging her office to take legal action against this guidance... We will be signatories on any amicus briefs that align with our position"

Western Washington University @WWU (h/t @camthread)

"we have joined an amicus brief in support of Harvard and MIT’s lawsuit to block the directive.."
westerntoday.wwu.edu/news/western-s…
California Community Colleges (@CalCommColleges) and California State University (@calstate) announced with the California AG they are filing a lawsuit challenging the policy. (h/t @marinequeen3).

oag.ca.gov/news/press-rel…
Emory University showed up @EmoryUniversity (h/t @marufisonfire).

Pledging "to do all we can to enable our intl students to pursue their education at Emory without disruption of their academic progress, and within a supportive and safe environment".

Lewis and Clark College @lewisandclark announces intent to file, and in their opposition describes the policy as:

"a reflection of the worst in policy-making: cruel, cynical, and counterproductive"
