Why the FUCK my school feels the need to comment their stupid opinion on things like this, I just don't know. If I weren't so close to completing my master's degree I would have half a mind to transfer. This is the e-mail I just got...
MEMORANDUM TO THE MARIST COLLEGE COMMUNITY
FROM: DAVID YELLEN
President Trump's recent executive order on immigration has caused a great deal of alarm and confusion across the country and in our own college community. As has been reported, the executive order places a 120-day ban on the entry of refugees into the United States, an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria, and a 90-day ban on entry from travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. As it is written, the executive order applies to migrants, refugees, dual nationals, and US permanent residents, although the White House seems to have reversed itself vis a vis the order's application to green card holders. Administration officials have also suggested that the ban may be extended to other countries. Meanwhile, a federal court has issued a nationwide, partial stay on enforcement of the executive order.
With the situation so confused and fluid, we are advising Marist students from the seven countries specified in the executive order (we are not aware of any faculty or staff from the seven countries) to postpone all international travel until further notice. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and work with our fellow colleges and universities. The Center for Multicultural Affairs is talking individually with those Marist students affected by the order to provide appropriate assistance and advice.
Marist benefits greatly from being an increasingly international community. Having people from around the world, including from the countries specified in the executive order, come here to study strengthens our college, our community and our nation. Our engagement in the wider world and our support for those who seek learning, wherever they are from, are part of the values of the College established by our founders, the Marist Brothers. We reaffirm Marist's commitment to all of our students, regardless of immigration status or national origin. As a reminder, Marist does not disclose any information on students (including immigration status) to law enforcement agencies unless compelled to do so by a court order. I was proud to be one of the signatories of a letter from college and university presidents urging President Trump to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
I encourage you to join me in offering your full support to our fellow international community members during this challenging time.
