Well, have the State Dept revoke his visa. The State Dept does have someone in charge, right?

Yale now doesn't even attempt to claim that Mr. Hashemi has changed.
In conversations with donors, president Richard Levin has fallen back on two arguments: that Mr. Hashemi currently is a nondegree student, and that the State Department issued him a visa.
But Mr. Hashemi's application to become a sophomore in Yale's full degree program, the same type of program that Mr. Farivar graduated from at Harvard, is pending before Mr. Levin.
That makes his continued presence at Yale especially relevant as Yale's Board of Governors, the body that supposedly runs the university, prepares to meet this week.
Many in the Yale community are appalled at the damage university officials have caused by their failure to address the Hashemi issue after seven weeks of controversy.
"That silence has provoked bewilderment and anger among many," David Cameron, a Yale political science professor wrote The Wall Street Journal last week.
"Yale appears to have no convincing response to those who ask why, given the nature of the Taliban regime, his role in it, its complicity in the 9/11 attacks, and his apparent failure or refusal to disavow the regime, Mr. Hashemi has been allowed to study at the university."
Even some who defend the right of Yale to make its own admissions decisions now say it went too far with its Taliban
Man. Mark Oppenheimer, a Yale grad who edits the New Haven Advocate, an alternative weekly, says he has "finally come to the conclusion" that "Yale should not have enrolled someone who helped lead a regime that destroyed religious icons, executed adulterers and didn't let women learn to read.
Surely, the spot could have better gone to, say, Afghani women, who have such difficulty getting schooling in their own country."

"Former Taliban diplomat Rahmatullah Hashemi's presence as a non-degree special student at Yale has put pressure on administrators..."
I hope so...
" an appalling lapse of judgment on Yale's part..."
Thanks Dio for posting the reality of the PC bs at Yale.
"an appalling lapse of judgment on Yale's part..."
Actually, Yale and the other elite universities across America have been hiring and tenoring anti American professors and allowing students who hate America for decades.
Now thanks to the internet, their deadly PCism is no longer hidden to the public and good alums.
Yessir, and since they are all for egalitarianism, they should be happy that an Ivy League degree is declining in value at a rapid pace so that they aren't considered any better than a good state school. At least I hope that's true.
Someone needs to find that picture of the Taliban Killer shooting the poor woman in a blue Burka in a Soccer field before we took out the Taliban thug leadership.
Then, this Taliban Killer at Yale needs to see these photos everywhere he goes on and off campus.
Then the pictures that Dio posted should be shown everywhere this Taliban Killer goes.
One can only hope that enough alums and parents wake up to the PCism which is the main course at Yale and many other schools.
Sending a child to one of these left wing universities where PC ism is their religion and main focus should be considered child abuse.
My daughter turned down a Ivy to go to a well-respected, small Southern liberal arts college.
Just more signs that the US visa process still needs to be overhauled. I thought that those problems would have been fixed after we issued student visas to some of the 9/11 terrorists after 9/11.
Micahel Savage had people reading aloud from "Liberalism Is A Mental Disease" in public places like university student union cafeterias while they were on the phone with him, to see if anybody would freak out. They did.
Do you think covering women head to to depersonalizes them to the extent that it makes it easier to blow their brains out?
That is a good one.
The one I'm mentioned was in color and you can see the bullet from the AK 47 kicking up the turf after it passed through the murder victim.
I thought after 9-11 that we would finally get control of our borders.
