    The New Immigration Regime: Restrictions, Outcomes, and What’s Next

    The Migration and Human Rights Program @Cornell Law School The Immigration Law and Advocacy Clinic @Cornell Law School Immigration was a top priority in 2025 for President Trump. The administration has restricted immigration in many ways, ranging from travel bans to mass deportations. The White House has stated that the United States may have negative net migration to the U.S. in 2025 for the first time in over 50 years.  In the meantime, employers face labor shortages. The demographics of an aging population and declining birth rates are indisputable. More people worldwide are fleeing the breakdown of civil society, climate change, and persecution than ever before. Over 10 million people in the United States lack immigration status and fear deportation. And our immigration courts face a backlog of over 3 million deportation cases.  Join retired Cornell Law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr and a panel of Cornell experts as they discuss how immigration law and policy changed in 2025 and what we might expect in 2026. What You’ll Learn: What changes to the immigration system the Trump administration made in 2025 The impact of those changes on communities, the economy, and immigration law What legal challenges these policies have faced and where those legal challenges stand What immigration changes might occur in 2026 by the Trump administration and/or Congress Follow eCornell on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.

    When Should the University Speak? Cornell’s Presidential Task Force on Institutional Voice

    Presidential Task Force on Institutional Voice Draft Report  October 2025 Update  Please provide feedback on the report  Members of our community —  whether students, staff, faculty, or alumni — feel deeply about many local, national, and world events, but does that mean that a university should opine on such weighty matters? Or should the university sit back and allow the individual voices of the community rise to the surface? Can it do both? And when the university does speak, who speaks for the university? What principles should govern this decision of when and how often to speak?  Last year, Cornell University created the Presidential Task Force on Institutional Voice to examine these questions and issue recommendations to the community. A draft report was released to the Cornell community during the fall semester outlining principles and providing suggestions to guide how the president, provost, deans, academic departments, and others should approach this issue. The Task Force was co-chaired by Cornell Law School Dean Jens David Ohlin and Deputy Provost Avery August. In this Keynote, Dean Ohlin and the Professor Nelson Tebbe will discuss the Task Force’s findings. What You’ll Learn: How Cornell University is studying the issue of institutional voice The principles and guidelines recommended by Cornell’s Presidential Task Force on Institutional Voice The various approaches that other universities have taken on this issue Follow eCornell on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.
