The detainment in Minnesota and the Trump administration's targeting of pro-Palestinian students who are legally in The United States, citing national security, has some legal experts arguing the administration is running afoul of free speech protections.
UK Spokesman Jay Blanton said the issue is on the school's radar.
"We're trying to obviously be vigilant," he says.
For now, UK is directing students to its Update on State and Federal Issues website, which provides the latest information available to the university.
"We are trying to populate that site as quickly as possible with information as we know about it," Blanton tells WUKY. "Our sense is to continue to monitor those issues, try to make sure people have information so that they're aware, of what's happened at the federal level and so we can be in the best position to respond."
The school is also looking to take individual questions through email at govquestions@uky.edu.
