Dear Members of the Hamilton Community:

I am writing with an update to my message on July 8. As a member of the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, Hamilton College has joined an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit filed by Harvard and MIT challenging the forthcoming ICE SEVP rules regarding online study for international students.

Also, the New York Six consortium presidents issued a joint statement, which was published by the USA Today Network.

The Dean of Students’ office has been in touch with our international students, including through a virtual town hall earlier this week. Hamilton will continue to do everything we can to assist them and to minimize disruption to their education.

David
