To the Editor:
We appreciate President Christina Paxson P’19 and Provost Richard Locke’s op-ed on Sunday. Unfortunately, articulating Brown’s values does little to “fully support members of our community” when some are now prohibited from traveling to their home countries and even stranded outside the United States.
To protect its community, Brown could issue a press statement forcefully condemning the recent Executive Order as both unjust and directly harmful to the University’s mission — the University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Penn and others have published stronger statements. Brown could also follow the University of Michigan and New York University in announcing specific commitments to its students. Even better, Brown could coordinate other prominent universities in presenting a united front against the travel and immigration ban.
As alumni, we call on the University to take concrete actions to live up to its values, defend its interests and make us proud of Brown — both now and in upcoming crises.
Sincerely,
