AISNE Insight: How Legal Challenges to Higher Education May Impact K-12 Independent Schools

virtual

Free of charge for AISNE Members
$100/pp Non-AISNE Members

Presented virtually, via Zoom

The media has followed a tempest of legal challenges to higher education: attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts and programs, impacts on foreign students and faculty, potential loss of non-profit status, cuts to federal funding, and more.

But where do things stand today? And how might these challenges present themselves as vulnerabilities for K-12 independent schools? We will be joined by John Graff and Alicia Ward, attorneys at Hirsch Roberts Weinstein, to discuss these questions. John and Alicia will spend time reviewing the current legal landscape and potential impact of:

  • Hiring of immigrant/international staff and faculty.
  • Student affinity groups and identity-based student organizations.
  • Federal funding cuts.
  • Enrollment practices based on student identity.
  • International student visas and enrollment challenges.
  • Challenges to non-profit status.
  • Unionization trends.

Thank you to Hirsch Roberts Weinstein LLP for making this AISNE Insights session possible.
