Cornell University is encouraging international students and staff to return early from winter break in anticipation of President-Elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

According to Cornell’s guidance, “it is a good idea” for students from the 12 countries targeted in Trump’s previous travel ban, such as Iran and Yemen, to return to the United States before the university’s semester starts on Jan. 21. Countries like China or India could also be added to the list, it says.

The president-elect has pledged to enact a travel ban and revoke student visas from “radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners.”

The guidance also encourages undocumented students and those under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy to contact the university’s student support office with questions.

Why urge them to go home? Aren’t they here legally? If not, why not? What other laws has Cornell been disobeying?

“Cornell University urges some international students to return early ahead of Trump presidency”

Can’t say that I blame them for trying to get in under the wire, but it’s still hard to see how Trump will allow Chinese nationals to return to Top Secret DOD work.

Ah; I missed that; thanks for clarifying. Shoulda read more thoroughly (happens a lot around here). It’s like forgetting to put parmesan on your spaghetti because you’re so eager to eat the main event.

An aged, freshly ground, imported Parmigiano Reggiano IS the main event!

P2 urges Cornell to cut the Professorial staff in half and double their class-loads.

For starters.

I’ll concede it’s a matter of taste, as it were.

Yeah, through that whole flap, I was remembering the faces in the computer lab at the U of O. How many of the H1-Bs were educated in America?

Whoever made this public at Cornell should be fired. period.

To even insinuate that Trump has an issue with legal student visa holders is inciting undue Panic and irrational fear, And there should be consequences.
