About this Event

The second Trump administration has quickly issued a series of sweeping executive orders impacting students, faculty, and staff, college and university operations, and the mission of higher education institutions. Several orders have attracted legal challenges, while administrative agencies have taken initial steps to implement those that have not been blocked by the courts. All the while, counsel have worked overtime to advise and communicate with college and university clients and to set the tone for calm and deliberate action to advance the interests of their institutions. As the third week of the new administration draws to a close, it is necessary to pause and reflect on where we find ourselves as a higher education community and to take stock of the landscape that is shifting beneath our feet.

Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Danielle Conley and Kate Hudson, will provide an overview of the most impactful executive orders and what they mean for higher education.

This briefing is a part of NACUA’s Transition Updates: The First 100 Days series.
