Interim Provost Dale Billingsley sent out an email this morning addressing students who may be concerned about Trump’s immigration ban.

“Our international students and employees, including those from the countries targeted in this executive order, are valuable members of the U of L community,” Billingsley said in his statement. “We treasure the unique experiences and talents that each student or employee brings to our family.”

Currently, Trump’s ban prevents citizens of Muslim-majority countries like Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the U.
