About the Webinar
The Trump Administration’s policies toward universities and protestors have been characterized as the biggest assault on civil liberties in the United States since the Second Red Scare or the era of McCarthyism. Some of the nation’s most esteemed universities have been targeted by the administration with punitive measures aimed at forcing changes that would gut their academic freedom. Students who protested Israeli policies and American support for the war on Gaza have been summarily detained by masked agents and disappeared.

Arab Center Washington DC is convening a webinar panel of experts to discuss this and will seek to address several questions. What have been the impacts of these policies so far? Where do we expect things to go? What have the legal responses been? How are institutions responding? What is the origin of these policies, and how did we get here? How is immigration law and federal education policy being used?
