Scheduling Considerations in the US Asylum System: LIFO, FIFO, and the Dedicated Docket

Join Dr. Daniel Freund, Associate Professor of Operations Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, for a seminar examining how scheduling policies shape efficiency and fairness in the U.S. asylum system. Drawing on recent collaborative work, Dr. Freund will explore the operational dynamics of immigration court dockets and asylum interview scheduling—highlighting how nontraditional approaches like LIFO and the Dedicated Docket influence case outcomes, processing times, and equity in decision-making.
