Statement of solidarity with those affected by President Trump’s Executive Order On 27 January 2017, US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order putting in place a 90-day ban that denies entry to citizens from seven Muslim majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. So far, the ban includes current visa and green card holders. Dual nationals have been advised by US consulates not to mention their citizenship of any of the seven countries subject to the ban when applying for a visa. Moreover, it is particularly alarming that the Order also suspends the admittance of all refugees to the US for a period of 120 days and terminates indefinitely all refugee admissions from Syria. The Department of English and American Studies sharply rejects President Trump’s Order. We express our solidarity with everybody who is affected by the ban, especially with all students, PhD researchers and colleagues at our Department who, on the mere basis of their passports, are being discriminated against by President Trump’s Executive Order – e.g., by being barred from exchange semesters or research fellowships at our partner universities in the USA; by being unable to participate in conferences held in the USA; or in any other form. We also wish to emphasize our determination to sustain and, where possible, intensify our friendly cooperation with our academic partners and colleagues at US universities, who, without exception, are as appalled and as outraged as we are. Our American colleagues share our view that the Order is an assault on one of the most basic prerequisites of academic practice in a globalized world: it severely impedes the free communication of ideas and insights across national, linguistic, and cultural borders.
