Dear Colleagues,

I'd appreciate some input about amended Executive Order 12989, issued
6/9/08.  How do you expect to implement a compliance mechanism at your
institutions?  Thanks for your advice.  Kathy Cataneo, University of New
Hampshire.

Subject: Institutions entering into federal-government contracts will be
required to use the DHS's E-Verify system

All colleges and universities entering into federal-government contracts
will be required to use the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify
system to establish the immigration status of newly hired employees and
all employees working on such contracts, under an executive order signed
this week by President Bush.  For the President's Executive Order see:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/06/20080609-2.html

A proposed rule, published on Thursday in the Federal Register, states
that all employees of federal contractors who are newly hired or who are
directly engaged in work on those contracts would need to have their
work eligibility checked through E-Verify. The rule applies to contracts
of more than $3,000 with work performed within the United States,
including those with colleges and universities.
