American Council on Education (ACE) and 43 other higher education associations file amicus brief with the US Supreme Court; November 12, 2019 hearing date with a ruling expected in Spring 2020

An Amicus Brief was filed by the American Council on Education and 43 Other Higher Education Associations in Department of Homeland Security, et al. v. Regents of the University of California, et al. (October 4, 2019)to the Supreme Court of the United States in support of district court decisions that have kept in place the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which the Trump Administration rescinded in 2017.

The government claims that its rescission of the policy is not reviewable. Amici argue that the recession of DACA is subject to judicial review and that rescinding DACA will considerably harm colleges and universities and their students by making it far more difficult for promising students to enroll in postsecondary institutions.

Iandoli Desai and Cronin, P.C. will continue to monitor the ongoing litigation and will provide updates as they become available.
