Fordham University has joined 85 other institutions in support of an amicus brief that challenges President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders. The brief, titled AAUP v. Rubio, argues that the recent moves by the White House to remove international students’ visas have “created a climate of fear.” It also discusses how these actions have and will harm students, universities, the economy and innovation.
“Seeing these actions, non-citizen students and faculty report being scared that they, too, will be targeted by the administration … This fear extends beyond non-citizens who have expressed pro-Palestinian views; many are afraid of expressing any political views contrary to those of the current administration for fear of reprisal,” reads the brief.
This comes after the debut of Fordham’s resources and guidance page, which is supposed to provide information and support for international students.
