UConn President: Trump travel ban is harmful to universities
"The executive order, signed by Trump on Jan. 27, puts a 120-day halt on suspending refugee admissions to the United States and bars citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the U.S. for 90 days. White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus has since announced green card holders will be able to reenter the country but anyone traveling to those countries will face additional screening.
“As a university, we are steadfastly committed to openness, inclusion, and to treating our fellow human beings with dignity, compassion, and respect,” UConn President Susan Herbst and Provost Jeremy Teitelbaum wrote in the letter. “The executive order issued last Friday is antithetical to these values.”
Herbst’s letter included a link to directions given by UConn’s International Student & Scholars Services (ISSS) relating to the ban. Near the top of the directions page, those affected are told they should not leave the country because they will be unable to re-enter."
