Past Presidents Statement from President Martin About Withdrawal of Restrictive Federal International Student Guidelines

 

To the Campus Community,

 

I am relieved by this outcome and delighted not only for our international students but all of us who benefit from their many contributions. The presence of international students in our educational institutions and later in our workforce is a benefit to us all.  

 

I am grateful to the many people at Amherst, at other colleges and universities, at law firms, and in many other sectors, who stood up and worked with blinding speed to oppose the ICE action. Thankfully, our students may now focus on their education.
