In light of yesterday’s Supreme Court decision upholding President Trump’s executive order banning travelers from certain Muslim-majority countries, I would like to make clear the commitment of the University of Maryland to the education of all students, regardless of national origin or religion.  We are committed to excellence in graduate education, and that requires recruiting the best and brightest students from across the nation and around the world.  Diversity, inclusion, tolerance, and intellectual freedom are fundamental values of the University of Maryland.  

In response to President Trump’s decision to rescind DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the Graduate School echoes what President Loh stated in his statement last week. The decision strikes at the heart of the values espoused by the students, faculty and staff of the Graduate School to ensure a welcoming, inclusive and just environment for all members of the University of Maryland graduate community.
