In Global Investigations Review – Guide to Sanctions 4th ed., Ama Adams, Emerson Siegle, Junsuk Lee, and Brendan Hanifin authored the chapter, “Sanctions and Export Controls Considerations for Higher Education and Research Institutions.”
With extensive experience advising clients on U.S. regulation of trade and foreign investment—including sanctions, export controls, CFIUS, and anti-corruption, among others—the authors provide unique insight into how universities and research institutions, often involved in cross-border collaboration, international travel, and global engagement, can come into conflict with the national security objectives underlying U.S. sanctions and export controls, which restrict the flow of sensitive commodities and technology to parties and jurisdictions of concern.
U.S. trade and national security regulations are of increasing concern to numerous categories of clients, including those in the higher education space.
“While higher education and research institutions have not traditionally been a focus of enforcement activity, the proliferation of complex trade law and regulations that apply to universities is growing,” said the authors. “Universities would be well served to ensure that they and their employees have a sufficient understanding and appreciation for the delicate interplay between these restrictions and academic activities.”
