51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

Joanna Regulska, vice provost and associate chancellor of Global Affairs, and Wesley Young, director of Services for International Students and Scholars, issued the following statement today (Jan. 30):

You have undoubtedly seen the news in the last few days regarding President Trump’s executive order that prevents people from seven countries (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia) from entering the United States.

We are very concerned about how this decision affects students and scholars in the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis community. While we all understand the importance of keeping the United States safe, we also believe that this executive order is not consistent with the values that we know are an integral part of the university and the Davis community.

We are committed to the support of all international students and scholars, and will continue to work to make 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis a desired destination for those who would join us in our mission of teaching, research and public service.

You should know that at the very highest levels of the university’s leadership, we are here to support you in any way that we are able. Please see , and signed by the chancellors of every 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ campus. See also the statement from Interim Chancellor Hexter sent out on Saturday (Jan. 28).

You can contact if you have concerns or need assistance related to this executive order. You can email siss@ucdavis.edu or find .

We are here to support our international community.
