Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order on Immigration

The Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ of Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ at Lafayette has historically benefited from the scientific, cultural and economic contributions of international Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs and scholars and values all Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs, faculty members and researchers, regardless of their country of origin.

The Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ remains firmly committed to supporting all of our international Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs, faculty and their families.

To avoid possible delays re-entering the United States, we advise Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs and faculty members from the seven affected countries to consider postponing or canceling travel until more details about the executive order are available.

Any international Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ who has questions or concerns about the executive order should contact the Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµâ€™s Office of International Affairs, which is in Room 136 of the Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ Union. The Office’s phone number is (337) 482-6819; its email is oia@louisiana.edu.

UL Lafayette’s Graduate School will accommodate any Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs who are completing their degrees. For more information, go to the Graduate School in Martin Hall, Suite 332, send email to gradschool@louisiana.edu, or phone (337) 482-6965.

Faculty members with questions or concerns should contact the Office of Academic Affairs in Martin Hall, Room 231, (337) 482-6454, provost@louisiana.edu.

Counseling for Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs and faculty is available at the Counseling and Testing Center in Saucier Wellness Center, (337) 482-6480, counseling@louisiana.edu.

I would also like to reaffirm that the Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµ expects everyone to show respect to Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµs and faculty of all backgrounds, ethnicities, religious beliefs, genders, sexual orientations and political affiliations.

Sincerely,
Dr. E. Joseph Savoie
President
