UB statement on new ICE policy for international students

The following is a statement from the University at Buffalo regarding a new policy regarding international students announced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement:

The University at Buffalo is committed to providing its international students with a safe and supportive environment for their scholarly pursuits. These students, who come from more than 100 countries, offer immeasurable academic and cultural value to our campuses and local communities.

While the university is still examining the new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy, we believe our plans for the upcoming school year, which include a mix of in-person instruction and remote learning, will allow us to meet the requirements of the new policy and better assure our international students can continue their studies without interruption.
